I love the Buick Rally`s. The first rims I bought was a set of Buick Rally`s. Ive had them on one of my car`s since I was a teenager.

Big fan of the Buick and Cutlass rally wheels. Shame they ever made them 14". IMO they just always looked too small.
Yeah, my cutlass rallyes are 14's...they fit the car with the bfg's, but i agree they look small.

That's why i have these wheels sitting in boxes waiting on the car to get closer to the finish line. They have that vintage rallye look, but in a 17x7 and 17x8 instead.

The first set of wheels that I replaced on my wagon were a set of 14" Olds Cutlass rallyes with a set of Michelin tires. It actually drove pretty nice.

The 14" wheels seem to get lost in the wheelhouses. Although not quite as bad with a taller tire...70 series.

Agreed! The bfg's on mine are 245/60's. When i bought the car back in '01 it had old school 215/65's i believe with whitewalls.

I luckily even have a full size spare in my shed with a crap whitewall tire on it. I keep debating on whether to sell off the 14's, but i would probably regret it.

Same here, thinking about making a glass top coffee table with them because I like the look but don't think they would fetch much.

I was looking at some 17" wheels for a future upgrade for the Regal when it comes along far enough and one of the first rims I looked at was the AR VN501, I think they have great 5 spoke styling with a vintage look and are also affordable

I've always loved the vintage rallye look. Don't get me wrong, the telstars i had looked smokin on the cutlass....they just won't fit the bill for my overall vision which is more of a "modified stock" appearance of how i think GM would have done a cutlass in this era.

When AR came out with the billet versions several years back my jaw dropped! I saw a couple chevelle's at a show with them as in the pic below. Then i saw the price tag, and my jaw dropped further lol! When i saw the VN501's out i was pumped considering they were less than $200/wheel. For being a cast wheel, the quality is top notch...they are definitely worth the money. When i get the tires i want mounted, they will look even better.

I have AR Outlaw 1's on my car that I think really fit the car and era, but I would gladly grab a set of AR in an Olds rally pattern. Trouble is they don't make that design.....yet. Those 501's are so nice but they are so Buick to me that I don't think I would run them on my Olds.
