Wanted: decent set of rally wheels

Looking for a set of rally wheels in decent condition for a 69 Cutlass. Ideally comes with raised white letter tires, but not required.

Thanks!

Someone may have just what you want!

FWIW
69's are 41" bolt on centers and were argent grey.

The shipping of tires and wheels is going to be more than the wheels are worth.

I would take 14's or 15's - the argent silver would be great...but could also do black or dark green. Trying to get a budget version if possible.

Thanks!

If you're doing a " budget" 15" are most likley out of the question. 15" SS II with bolt on center can get pretty pricey.

I would think you could find some 14" close by

Also meant to say, I don't mind if they're not correct to the car. Will take a wide range of years...the last set I bought were 15's from a 77 Cutlass with tires and trim rings for $200. Had to pickup the center caps separately.

just another thought your looking for rallye 2's , not rallye 1's ( 5 spoke) or would either style do? the 69 was available with either style ( yes in 14") I believe only the hurst olds came with 15's in 69... maybe folks have a set of the rallye 1's

I have a very nice set of 15'' with snap on centers and new RWL tires. The trim rings are not the deep style, but still look great. The tires are 225/70/15 radials and the wheels are argent silver. I'll take $400.00 for everything but shipping will probably be astronomical from Maryland. Honestly, you'd probably better finding some that are closer to home. Something tells me shipping would easily be up to $150.00--$200.00.
They are pretty heavy and would most likely be in four seperate boxes.

I have a set of 5 of the 70-72 14x7 SSII"s.4 of them have new tires that have not been driven on,but not white letter.The 69 SSII's were 14x6.Otherwise,these look the same.If you can pick them up,it might be worth it,but if they need to be shipped,it would cost more than what they are worth.

Thanks everybody for the replies. I just got the car today so I will weigh my options and look around.

Thanks!
