Fooling around with rally wheels...
Is it just me or do these early 2nd Gen rally's look great on just about anything GM?
Here,I like them better than the original SS wheels.GM did get it right however later on:    Wide-track...   Love 'em here too on the '69 too,gives it a period-racer look:

Difficult and expensive to acquire all the correct pieces, and obtain the correct "look".............

Re: Fooling around with rally wheels...
Do you have any clearance (rubbing) issues with the front tires on the Z ?

Most of the wheels I've had on the '69 were 4.5" b/s on a 8" wheel and while close,it doesn't rub with how this car is setup. All my other wheels are 4.75" & 4.875" b/s on a 8" wheel and I have all kinds of clearance there.

Re: Fooling around with rally wheels...
Before I bought my '70 Z28, I was going to put Torque Thrust wheels on it. When I got it and saw those beautiful original wheels, there was no way I could make the change.
I love those wheels.
