Very helpful video. I saw that you mentioned these rims for a ‘67+ Chevy. What would you use for a 1964? I’m thinking of converting it to a 5 bolt. Thank you.

@C10TruckNerd 2 года назад

Thank you! You could use the same 5 lug rallies depending on if you went with disc brakes. 15x7s up front fit a little better with disc but 15x8 should fit fine too. If you haven’t you might check out my truck rally wheel video to see the differences.

I have original Chevy rally rims on my all original 1976 Monte Carlo. I have pondered having them power coated but am still considering painting them. It is an all original fully loaded 15,000 mile Landau model. What would you do?

@C10TruckNerd 6 месяцев назад

If you can get them blasted and coated at a reasonable price, I would go that route.

@glfmarmadison5126 Месяц назад

I ended up having my rally’s sandblasted then I used iron armor self etching primer from harbor freight. I’m going with the same krylon metallic dull grey. Hopefully they’ll be ok. So I don’t need to sand the primer? Also how many cans of paint do you use for a full set of rally’s? I’m mounting tires so only painting the inside and outside. It took 3 cans of the primer for 2 coats. Thank you for the video and your help in this!

@C10TruckNerd Месяц назад

You bet! If your primer doesn’t feel smooth to the touch, it’s not a bad idea to hit with some 400-600. I do this between coats of silver if it sprays with a little texture. I have also been using VHT Ford Argent Silver lately since my local AutoZone stocks it. It is pretty similar. One can of silver gets me 3 coats and still have a little leftover.

@luisnarvaez8790 8 месяцев назад

Nice video man . I just picked up a set for my truck but I’m missing the bolts that hold the center cap in the middle . Do you happen to know the size of the bolts so I can go grab a pair from Home Depot ? TIA

@C10TruckNerd 8 месяцев назад

I appreciate it. They should be a 5/16 course thread by 3/4”. Originals had a groove or cut on the tip (thread cutters). Some hardware stores stock them still.

@demodave386 5 месяцев назад

Hey Chad. Love the videos! I just painted my wheels today. I had them blasted and sanded them back smooth. I used Rust-Oleum etching primer that went on perfect. I then used vht ford argent silver. It has a powdery textured appearance and feel. Not sure what I did wrong or if the wheel paint just comes out this way. Not sure whether I should wet sand and clear them or sand them down and start over? Thanks.

@C10TruckNerd 5 месяцев назад

That happens every once in a while to me too with the filler or etching primer. Since it’s already top coated, I would hit it with some 600 grit sandpaper lightly to smooth everything out. Try not to take any paint off, just make it super smooth and give it one more coat of VHT. That should take care of it.

It definitely wouldn’t be with that setup. I can wire wheel a set of them to bare metal in about 2 hours. That’s what I’ve been doing lately. My buddy can blast a set in about 5-10 minutes with his commercial setup. Like you say, what is your time worth?

Hey Chad, love your videos man! Particularly the rally wheel and center cap vids. Restoring my dads ‘81 Chevy Silverado C10. Painted the rims, have my center caps, but the trim rings were lost in time. Not only am I at a loss on where to find them (junkyard is plum out) but no idea on the install and how they’re supposed to stay put on the wheel. Could you point me in the right direction?

@C10TruckNerd 2 года назад

Thanks James! Finding a good original set is getting tough. There are several aftermarket vendors out there you can check out. Classic Parts of America and Speedway motors have the original style 3" deep sets. You can also find several options on Ebay that are 2 1/4 and 2.5" as well. The original and aftermarket sets are held on by compression clips. They just wedge onto the wheel lips. Unfortunately they scratch your newly painted wheels. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks for watching!

@gweggslist4460 2 года назад

Nice work! I'm probably going to do mine the cheap way anyway but do you know what media you used to blast the rims? Wondering if using sand would have increased the blasting time. Since they are steel I assume sand would work faster without damaging anything but my sandblasting experience is youtube only.. no hands on.

@C10TruckNerd 2 года назад

Thanks! You can really transform a junk set for little money. I believe the media we used was aluminum oxide from harbor freight. Didn’t go as fast as I would have liked. I just started restoring another set for a buddy. Doing that set by hand. I will post the before and afters on Facebook soon.

@justinmcgee2931 Год назад

What kind of bolt would fit to hold the center cap?

@C10TruckNerd Год назад

OEM were 5/16 coarse thread by 3/4 I believe. I think you could also use 5/8 flanged head thread cutter bolts (GM PN 14003421). They also made a slotted version. Some guys use aftermarket SS flanged head as well.

@drayvenkerry2855 Год назад

I prefer the 2 5/8” ones. They also have them in 3”. I like having more of the wheel exposed with the narrower ones.

@jasetheboss2354 11 месяцев назад

Hey quick question is 1 can of paint and primer enough for all 4 wheels?

@C10TruckNerd 11 месяцев назад

The face of the wheels can get 4 coats in 3/4 of a can. It usually takes me 1.5 cans of primer if I primer the back and sides too. Same for black paint if I do the back and sides. I have found VHT argent silver from auto zone has a nicer semi gloss finish too.

Great video! Thinking about painting my wheels "the chad way", but trying to figure out if i go that route or just powdercoat them. How many spray cans did you use from start to finish? Rust inhibitor, primer and color, trying to compare pricing and see if it's worth the time invested as opposed to having a shop do all the work. Any help is much appreciated and again GREAT VIDEOS!!

@C10TruckNerd 2 года назад

Thank you! On a typical set I would use 1 can (1 coat) rust converter if needed, 2-3 cans of fillable or self etching primer. That would include priming the front, back and sides. 2 cans of black if painting the backs and sides. You truly could leave them alone or rust converter if needed. 1 can Dull aluminum or for a more gloss finish VHT rally wheel paint (3-4 coats with some left over). I usually have less than $40 in a set with paint, primer and converter. If you don’t have any sandpaper or chrome polish add a few more bucks. Let me know if you have any more questions. Glad to help!

@TheREALOC1972 2 года назад

I sandblasted and primered and painted mine, I used about half can of each per wheel. so I'd buy 3 cans of each just to be sure. I bought one of those cheap hand held sand blasters from Harbor Freight for like $40, yes it was more expensive and took longer then doing it the "chad way" but I know it will last for years and I won't have to do it again for a while, I was taught to do it right the first time plus I just don't like doing something twice.

@jeffrobodine8579 6 месяцев назад

I had a 1990 Sentra as a daily back in the early 2000's. I media blasted the rims, primed them and painted them with cans of silver high temp wheel paint. They stayed nice for about two Years then the rust belt elements started to take them right back where they started from.

@isaacwells1749 2 года назад

How many cans of primer/paint should I get? I’m about to restore my rallies!

@C10TruckNerd 2 года назад

1 can of primer if you are only doing the face. 2 if back and sides. 1 can of black if only doing rears, 2-3 if doing rear and sides. 1 can of Krylon or VHT Rally wheel paint for the face. It’s not a bad idea to buy 2 so you have a back up for touch ups. VHT Ford argent silver is stocked at Auto zone and is almost identical to GM argent that is not stocked.

@georgebarrerajr 2 года назад

Thanks Chad, very good information. I do have a question on what your opinion would be for considering the rims are too pitted/corroded to proceed with restoring?

@C10TruckNerd 2 года назад

Thank you! Depending on how bad the pitting is, you could use a high build primer to fill them in or even body filler if it’s that extreme. I haven’t used either. Most of the time several coats of fillable primer and several coats of paint hide them good enough. Luckily there isn’t too much exposed since the caps and rings hide a bunch. If you are going for a higher end build, I would look for a better set or a reproduction set. Hope that helps!

@georgebarrerajr 2 года назад

Helps greatly. Appreciate feedback on your thoughts on looks and how to get the best out of them with available resources. One other question I have would be for functionality. In your opinion what measure should I look for to determine if pitting/corrosion exists at the bead surface is too much? I’m sure I could take advantage of prime filler and paint, but would not rely on body filler at this interface. Again, thanks for your comment and opinion.

@TheREALOC1972 2 года назад

I just put a set of these from a 81 or 82 Chevy truck on my 73 Regal. I did it the right way though and sand blasted them. I went and bought one of the cheap sand blasters (Not Cabinet just the gun itself and sandblasted them. Yes it took more time but I know it's done right. I also used Rubbing Alcohol instead of wasting money on Prep-sol. I painted them Burnt Copper instead of Silver because my paint scheme for my Regal is going to be White and Copper with Camel Hide Brown interior.

@C10TruckNerd 2 года назад

I bet that turned out nice on the Regal! Blasting them ensure you get all the nooks and crannies cleared out. I am like you now and use cheap rubbing alcohol. Works great for a couple bucks.

all this great i must say that their is no wrong way or quickest way to have the same outcome. Me personally to use less elbow grease i think its best use a big storage plastic tub that will fit a rim size depends too, but that will fit for the most part and dump a whole gallon container of EVAPORUST from H.Freight and every so often splash that stuff around while the rim soaks in it flip the rim after maybe like an hour or so depends on how rusty it is or want to remove gunk. then pull rim out rinse with water and wet sand with like 1000-grit to 1500 then after that use alchohol to remove any dust then ready for primer and than your paint of preference.

@ItsTheChad71 I understand. I see you mentioned that you don't use clear coat on the wheels because when you need to repaint impurities it will make you have to sand. So if I don't use clear coat and later down the road I need to do touch ups, I just spray paint with no sanding?

They are the SS 1985 rally wheels, they are the ones with 5 triangles, the wheel is silver gray and the triangles are black, with rings and the centers are plastic, very similar to the ones on the Camaro, with gray stripes and the Chevrolet logo, the problem is that I put them in and they fit into the rim eyebrows but I can't get them to stay fixed, with vibration movements on the road they can come off, what I don't know is if I have to put them in with more pressure or with a rubber hammer

Very helpful video, thank you! If it took more than ten minutes to media blast one wheel there is something wrong with the sandblaster and or improper media type.

@C10TruckNerd 4 месяца назад

Thank you! It didn't seem to work very well with several coats of paint. The basic Harbor Freight cabinets don't seem to cover much ground very fast. Shops around here seem to want too much to blast a set.

@Geoduck. 4 месяца назад

@@C10TruckNerd Yes! The shops with blaster booths in my area are crazy expensive. I did not intend to be negative in my first comment. Perhaps look into getting a different media? No clue how much or what type to suggest.

@C10TruckNerd 4 месяца назад

@@Geoduck. I didn't take it negative at all. I hope to get a bigger compressor when I get the shop done and modify a new blast box. It sure would save me a bunch of time and money in the long run.

Hey Chad so does the lug nut tighten down onto the plastic center cap? Seems like the plastic would crack.

@C10TruckNerd 2 года назад

The caps have holes in them for the lug nuts but are held onto the wheel with 3 thread cutter bolts or screws that go threw the face of the cap. There was a certain style cap that was held on with screw through the back of the wheel as well.

I appreciate it! I’ve recently switched over to VHT Ford Argent silver because AutoZone keeps it stock near me. I have to order Krylon now. I can’t tell a difference between Ford argent silver and Chevy. Ford is a lot cheaper too! I hope they turn out great!

Thanks Bryan! I have recently tried VHT Ford Rally wheel paint because Auto Zone stocks it. They don’t In Chevy Rally. I can’t tell the difference. VHT has a bit more sheen compared to Krylon. Some like some gloss others don’t. Best of luck to you!

Thanks I wonder if any viewers know a good match for Mopar argent wheel paint? Maybe same?
