Mounting dog dish on GM Rally wheels?...
Permalink  

Does anybody manufacture an add-on piece that can be mounted under the wheel nuts on GM Rally wheels, which will allow the wheels to accomodate dog dish caps?  I would think that they would be easy enough to manufacture?  (And they would eliminate the need for 2 sets of wheels/tires.)

You wouldn't think they'd be too tough to manufacture would they?...

i was just considering a switch to hub caps or dog dishes on my 66 wagon

for that more original look,  

i have never had either on it before , iam assuming full hupcaps fit only 14 inch rims

is that a rim of any type?

what about dog dish style, same 14 inch rims unless the d dishes are off a truck? 

and do i need a certain style of rim that has the ability to hold on the dog dish?

there seems to be tons of hubcaps and d dishes for sale, but i dont need them

hanging on the garage wall because i bought something i cant use,

thanks

Years ago  i sacrificed a set of middle caps for the rallies and adapted a set of original  dog dish types fastened to the rally caps for my 53 chev.  I kind of ruined the dogdishes but there were lots around at the time.  It wan't real hard, just took a bit of head scratching. I had 14x 6's on the front and 15 x 8's on the back.  Looked pretty good on that old pumpkin.

There are probably lots of poor condition rally middles cheap at the swaps meets yet.
