I think those may be 'vette centers?

Here's a link to the '68 brochure:

That's odd. I've done an edit with what I think is the same link. The first one doesn't work, but the second I believe does?...

JJ · Guru

No they did not

Begs the question...Were these wheels offered on any of the Beaumonts? (It sounds like "no" for both the '66 and the '68.)

you recieved the rallys when you ordered "disc brakes" in 67 and 68..69 the rallies were a seperate option from the disc brake option..

Beaumont4008 · Uber Guru

Option ZJ7 in 69. They also show as 15 in. I wonder if a typo.

i seen that too Ian..i still find it hard to believe they put 15"rallies on 69 beaumont,,but that`s what the GM docs. say confuse confuse

GM rallys were available 67,68,69 on Beaumonts they were 14 inch with the center caps pictured on the white car the wheels were optional and required with disc brakes for cooling. These wheels look great on these cars

Mine is getting 15 in ralleys so looks like I have a vallid argument as to why if challenged.

In my opinion, it's a great look especially with TA's. But then again, I'm probably a little biased. (Better to be biased, than biased plied LOL)

We have a large assortment of rally caps here, and this is what I thought. 1967 was first year of rallys. That was the only year that g.m. used the 'shorty' caps, in the states anyway, not 100% sure of Canada! but would say only year again. We have 4 different centre caps on the shortys, (1) CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION (2) CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION ~ DISC BRAKES (3) no writing on cap, Beaumont or possibly cdn. Pontiac drum brakes (4) DISC BRAKES Beaumont or possibly cdn. Pontiac with disc brakes. Then in 1968 g.m. used the larger 'Derby' caps and we have 2 different varietys of those (1) CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION (2) again no writing on cap and I know I've pulled these off a few Canadian Pontiacs years ago. I would include pictures of all BUT the wife took the camera with her to get baby shots today, which we will down load tonight on the 'Leila ~ Prayer' topic this evening. Cheers, Grampa Dave!

looks great ! The white letters work well with the roof-I like redlines or 3/8 whitewalls but this does look great ! I have a nice set of bumper guards for it that I've been saving for Jack's car

Congrats Grampa Dave

(1) CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION
I believe those to be from later wire wheel covers which use the same ornament (cap) as the small centre rallys.
(2) CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION ~ DISC BRAKES
I believe those to be 67 only Chevrolet caps (Nova, Chevelle, Impala, Corvette)
(3) no writing on cap, Beaumont or possibly cdn. Pontiac drum brakes
Acadian (67) Beaumont (67-69), Pontiac (67-70)
(4) DISC BRAKES Beaumont or possibly cdn. Pontiac with disc brakes.
Disc brakes on Acadian (67) Beaumont (67) Pontiac (67)
Then in 1968 g.m. used the larger 'Derby' caps and we have 2 different varietys of those (1) CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION
68 and up Corvette 69 and up Chevrolet all lines 68 Camaro (maybe?)
(2) again no writing on cap and I know I've pulled these off a few Canadian Pontiacs years ago.
GMC Sprint (El Camino style) 70 and up

Above in bold is what I believe Dave's caps to be from. I am sure at least some of my statements are wrong, incomplete or whatever. Please help sort this out if you can.

cool 69 · Addicted!

I don't like those wheels on Beaumont's cause people alway's think it's a Chevelle.Then they ask if your putting SS stipe's on it.

So can you remove 4 screws holding the big centres to the cap shown in JJ's initial post and replace them with the centres shown on this white car?I think that these on the white car are the 'shortys' Dave's talking about.

That was the reason that I had the Pontiac Rally II's on my car for so long. However, the Rally II's never came on the Beaumonts. Therefore I changed them.

My current feeling is that if you "know Beaumonts" you'll know its a Beaumont regardless of the wheels. If you don't "know Beaumonts" you'll likely think it's a Chevelle regardless of the wheels.
