I have 15x7 front and 15x8 rear ralley wheels on my '71. Stainless 2" trim rings on the front and stainless 3" trim rings on the back. Don't have any pics right now but will try and post some soon. Also running the '67 disc brake style center caps. They are re-pops I picked up at a swap meet but I do like the look. 225/70/15's on the front and 255/70/15's on the rear. Thinking of changing rear meats to a 60 series size, just not sure which size looks best. I like the look of littles and bigs, to much old school I guess.

Im running 15x7 all the way and really like the way they look. I switched to the rallys from 5 spoke craigars and wouldn't switch back. A big factor in rim appearance is also the stance of the car and tire size. Im running a 215/75 I think with the white stripe out and its a tall tire. I also lowered the front 2 1/2 inches and the rear an 1 1/2. It really ties it together with the look I was after

so after pulling my chevelle out last night i can offically say i dont like the way it looks with the rally wheels on it. I already told my wife over the winter i am going to save up to get my 17 inch torque thrust wheels. Something about it makes it look super small. Even if i get the summit knock offs which is half the price..lol

Good call Shaun, like I said I have never seen a 69 that the rally wheels do it justice, but I have seen other years that is does.

Doesn't do much for it. I know there are 15's, but are they the deep dish ones like the Vette's run? I like the center caps better in the middle picture I posted early, they don't stick out so far. If I remember correctly they were used on 66 and 67.
