CUTLASS New Olds Rally Replica Wheels from Year One.

[81cutlass]

I personally prefer the smooth lip. The stepped ridge makes sense in a roll-formed steel wheel where for mfg and materials having to be where they have to be, it had to be stepped, but since its cast and not needed, I'm glad they got rid of it. I think it looks cleaner to not have the steps.

Import people put gaudy fender flares and tip the wheels funny directions so they can have "deep dished" wheels and us with our old junk can run 4" dished wheels like nothing. I'm not sure why stance people (or diesel bros) like that look but that's another discussion....

I sure love my 15" GTA wheels I have on my cutlass but these new ralleys would convince me to go another direction.

The real question, are they going to offer them in other colors or bare alumimum? Pontiac ralleys are predominantly charcoal grey and silver, but Olds ralleys don't have a standard color and nothing would hurt more than painting brand new $1000 sets of wheels to match the car color.

Because nobody was buying them?

They made them to soon while they were somewhat readily available

But, you couldn't get a 15x8. Luckily, the SS1 center is the same as the other more popular wheels (Magnum, 500, SS), otherwise, they'd be long gone, too.

I am pretty sure I am the only one who wants a 17" or 18" set of tho old Chevrolet rally wheels. I've thought about painting a set of late-model Camaro rims then rigging the caps shown below to fit.

I'm not a fan, I like the stepped rim look and they don't offer chrome.
I'd rather pony up $3k for a set of 17" US Mags, currently looking for a set for my '88 since I swapped them out to my '85 442 and I am leaning towards these with an argent center and red stripe like the 83 H/O kinda like Gary Willards design.
I believe US Mags purchased Gary's design and had to step it back a little to cut down machine time. I like how they scaled back the trapezoidal inserts a little too:

That wheel looks oddly familiar

Hey, I am one that spent $3K on the US Mags wheels. I am in "the more parts available, the merrier" crowd on this stuff.

Not SSII or III but a close decent looking alternative . . . colors available?

I just ordered a set of these in the 17x8 CHROME over CAST ALUMINUM style, YearOne says they should be in stock by end of this month so I should have them soon. I've pre-ordered them to get the free shipping, and was told after they have them in stock the price will be increasing a little.

These are going to replace my existing (perfect) set of Wheel Vintiques 15x7 Chrome SSIII's now that I've lowered 1" all around, and full QA1 CoilOver with 2-way adjustable shocks. Itching to get the car out and aligned with these on, and the new MonteSS steering box upgrade as well if this RAIN would ever go away..lol

Not sure if I will paint, or sticker the spokes black to get the stock SSIII look...I'll see how they look first without. I was really conflicted on getting the US MAGS Saber U437 Forged 2 pc (great looking wheel, no question) but they've raised the price almost $200 PER WHEEL since Fall 2018 (to $940 each, (CarID) so that helped me decide to go with these. If I like them I'll order a couple of extras to have as spares as still not come even close to the cost of the US MAGS.

Not having the taller sidewalls, and raised whites will take some getting used to I'm sure...will post pics of actuals when they arrive. I do like the stepped style a little better that you can get on the US MAGS, but again think I can get used to.

Hope these truly are as nice as they look in the pics...we'll soon find out.
