IMO---nope. Some old school with a modern body style doesn't always work.

Plus 15" don't do any favours to third gens.

Modern 16" or 17" Rallyes look OK, but not nearly as good as on a 1st or 2nd gen

Re: ralley rims on 3rd gen
can someone please help me, lol, can someone take off the center and outer caps so they are just the rim and take a pic, like of the driver or passenger side, and thank you so much if you can, after seeing these pix, i dont like how the centers stick out so far, and i have the grey ones, not chrome, i dont like the chrome, personal preference, plus if there is a problem, its cheaper just to spray them and be done versus having them plated.

I was thinking when I get my Camaro I was going to get some because I want to go retro with my car. Cortez Silver, black stripes, red interior and old school rallys Also 69 Camaro emblems. In memory of my 69 Z/28.
Your car looks awesome with them rallys PowerHour.

Re: ralley rims on 3rd gen
Since the 3rd gen studs are metric and the nut taper angle is different from standard nuts, wouldn't the fit be not quite right in terms of safety? Do they make a lug nut with metric threads but with old style tapers?

Re: ralley rims on 3rd gen
I didn't think I would like the old style Rallys on a third gen, but after looking at the pictures, they look pretty SCHWEET.If you don't like the regular (Derby style) center cap, you could always go with the flat (Police) style.That would be different, and the trim rings would be a plus IMHO.Also, can't you get the old style Rallys in 16 or 17 inch sizes from,say,a vendor like Wheel Vintiques? That would truly be the best of both worlds....
