Vette(s): 1971 383 Stroker- mille miglia red...5 speed
I bought a set of Firestone tires a while back. They never felt right. Went back to the tire shop a month or so back. They said one of my wheels had too much runout. OK...I took my spare I bought off E-bay a couple of years ago back there today and ...yep you guessed it... It was reject too. Luckily, not as bad as the first, but has to be replaced. Anyone have an extra 15x8 rally to sell me?
I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

Dwain,
There are currently 3 original "AZ" 15x8 Rally Wheels on E-Bay.
If you are afraid of a runout problem with these, most major Vette parts houses sell new 15x8 rallys that should run true.
Good luck,
Anthony
Damn...I just bought a set of four of these for my '75, with trim rings, center caps, and tires for $100. I guess he gave me a smokin' deal. 
I have 4 off my 69. one is fairly neww that i bought from ecklers just proir to putting on my centerlines. they may need some spucing up, sanded and painted. looks like $50 for the used ones is reasonable. I can ship it to you also and what ever it cost me i`ll pass along to you. shoot me a pm if your interested. I don`t know if anyof them are stamped and original. PO never gave me any indication that the were replaced .But then again , who knows

Micki, basically it means the rim isn't perfectly round or is warped. It can cause vibrations and all kinds of weird thangs, not to mention the damage it can eventually do to various suspension parts and tires. Someone can probably explain it better, but that's it in a nutshell. VETTERBOB saved the day for me. longhorn294 2007-11-02 20:53:04
