70 chevelle Wheel Question

[Seattle Sam]

I believe I have seen a number of '70 Chevelle SS cars with the "Rallye II" style wheel, a style first seen in '69. Was this a factory option for the '70 Chevelle? Are these wheels 14" x 7", or are they larger?
Thanks,

Standard Factory wheels for the 1969 & 70 Chevelle SS was 14X7 magnum 500 rims.
Coded either YA or AO.
I would think the owners are installing the Rallye II wheels afterwards.

Thanks Rick! Are those the magnum 500 wheels on your signature pic? And are they steel wheels?
I guess I thought those were the "Rallye II" wheels..

I believe the "Rally II" style rims were started in '71, and appeared on the Chevelles, Novas, and Camaros. They were a silver painted steel rim with six slots in them. They replaced the original Rally, or "Corvette Rallys" as some people call them.

No, the rally II was a pontiac wheel. Never used by Chevrolet, except by Yenko in 68.

The ones I'm talking about are shown here, in picture #11.

It's just a name.... those are the style that I've heard people refer to as Rally II's to avoid confusion with the first Rally rim. The other ones you mentioned (the 5-spoke Pontiacs), I've heard them called "Pontiac Rallys".
