Poverty caps on gm rally wheels?
Permalink  

I have what's likely a silly question... can I use my Beaumont poverty caps on a set of Chevy rally wheels? Also same question if they would fit the early gto rally?

 

Anyone find a reasonable steel wheel alternative for 5x4.75 in a larger diameter? 17 or 18?

 

Thanks,

ak

I don't think the rallys have the "ears" for the poverty caps do they?

I would say the poverty caps would not work. The Chevy ralley wheels have internal bumps to hold the center caps, whereas poverty caps require external bumps to hold them on.

The only rally wheel setup that looks like that would be if you use the cop car centres with no trim rings.

I'm using that on my electric Willys and I think they look pretty good that way.
