Not a fan of rallye wheels. Just a cheap stamped steel wheel with a little bit of bling thrown at it. There are so many better choices. :2cents:

I like the rally's on A bodies I think they look too small on a B body

A little spin-off question: how many of you run a larger (wider) tire on the back as opposed to keeping all four the same size? I have the redline BFG redlines (coker) 235-70-15 all around and would like to go a tad bigger in the rear,but i'm not sure the (cokers) can go say..255-60-15. I'd like to not swap all four just to accomodate a 60 series in the rear. Also if a rear 60series should go flat i think there might be an issue with mounting my 235-70-15 in terms of different tire dimensions...Any thoughts?

Big on the back...nice! I heard one of our brothers on here speak of the revolutions of a mixed size on the back if and when you use a different spare size,it might hurt the differential on the drive. My car has a very nice set of the BFG (coker) redlines 235-70-15 and a 225-70-15 spare. These tires are 300 bones apiece and i either sell them now with next to no miles on them or get busy doing some blvd. burnouts.

Well just let air out of the 60 H on the back to match the size of spare. Then drive home a little slower. This is always been an issue with larger tires on the back. Carry a can of fix a flat is one option but that stuff is rough on rim's. Tire plug kit and an air bottle.

They make some pretty good little air compressors and a plug kit , I’ve driven over 60 miles with 10 plugs in the sidewall of my 37” tall tire in my truck on a deer hunt

Impressive. The most Ive seen was 28 plugs along with duct tape in a 39.5 but that was to get him out of the wash and back to a trailer not drive home LOL

Agree with Ranger...always liked black wheels and chrome lugs on the A12's. Says "all business" to me.

A friend of mine got a deer with a F100 one year. But the truck got it pretty bad also. LOL.
