Pontiac Rally II rims?
Permalink  

Would 15" Rally II's off a Grande Prix fit on a '66 Beaumont?  Would the offset/back-space be ok?  Would the after market PMD dust caps fit on these wheels?  Feedback is appreciated...
thx

I think the year and body type of the Grand Prix is the key, B body or G Body. G Body is basically a special A Body. If it is a B Body that's a big US car wheel and likely not a fit. I have a set of 15" rally's from my 76 Firebird and they have seen service on a Camaro , Monte Carlo and 80 Grand Prix.

Jerha has a picture of his/my old car with them-but they do look far better with the correct wheels-if need be budget 15 x 7's are always cheap

 correct wheels are usually hub caps but "correct" optional wheels would be 14 x 6 chev style disc brake rallys (67 up) with 67 style flat caps-Canadian Pontiac emblem.

if you look at Jerha's the dealer I sold it to put 14 x 7 rally II pontiac wheels with PMD caps

prefence to the individual

I think Canadian Pontiac wheels look best

Post 68 Grand Prix has 5 on 4&3/4" bolt pattern same as Beaumont. Up to 68 it's a 5 on 5.

Since (as far as I know) there wasn't an option in '66 other than wheel covers, I was leaning towards the Rally II's.  I do like the camaro/vette wheels, but thought they might be a little too chevy?  Any links to Jerha's car pictures?
thx

So if I read you correctly any Grande Prix after '68 will fit?  Any thoughts on the backspace on those wheels?
thx

Yes I would think that is right. I think the backspace will be OK but not an expert. They seem fine on the picture cars I have posted. There is another option you might like that 70 SS ACADIAN's brother has come up with, Rally IV's

Thx for the feedback.  Was also considering the GTO rims but didn't think they were recognizable as being Pontiac.  Therefore it boils down to the Rally II's or the Camaro/Vette rally's.  Hmmmm......

Personally I'd go with the Chevy/Canadian Pontiac style rally wheels with the proper Canadian Pontiac centre caps. No Chevy centre caps please.

Here's a pic of a 67 with Rally II's. I can't  remember where I got this pic. Can someone set me straight on the corvette rally rims. I believe there were two types, one was a flat cap and one stuck out. The flat was a 67 only and the other was 68 and later. Is my thinking correct? Thanks, Kevin

thanks Jerhra-I deserve no credit-man does that car look good.

I have had I don't wanna say how many cars but everything from big block mid year corvettes to six cylinder pick up trucks and I can honestly say-this is the only car I'm truly sorry I sold-I always enjoyed that car-drove it for seven years-no grief-the day I sold it I knew it wasn't a good decision just was trying to justify the purchase of a my 65 Corvette at the time.

Ken,  the Beaumont is probably my favorite car to drive.  I had the Canso SD out all day today, but the Beaumont is the most comfortable and fun to drive, always drawing a crowd of " What is it? I have never seen one." You do deserve credit for keeping it nice for the years you owned it. I do have a very nice set of NOS hubcaps for it, but I still like the Rally II rims. I need the get the stripes more correct on the fenders sometime. I know they should not be there, but I really don't want to remove them, even though they are tape stripes.
