Auto Parts: wheels, rally wheels, rally style


Question
well there wasnt really a specific area for wheels so hopefully you can help me out. i have a 72 malibu that needs wheels put on it, i dont really have the cash to buy brand new rims so i will be looking for used, but i dont have a clue what size i need and dont know where to find that info if you could help me out that would be great
thanks alot

Answer
Hi Kody,

The proper rims for your car will be:

14" x 6", 5-lug, 4-3/4" offset

There is a huge interchange and almost every GM vehicle produced between 1965 and 1979 used the same rim (steel). There is a Rally style wheel also fitting your year/make of vehicle but being that they are for a '72 Chevelle, be prepared to pay MORE for 'B' condition used Rally wheels than you would for a brand-new set of American Racing or some other aftermarket design.

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
