I've got some used rally wheels but you wouldn't want them to as wheels. A lamp base, a hose coiler or a beer holder, but not as a wheel.

i'm not looking for used ones...anyone have some suggestions?

ideally, i'd like a 15 inch rim, but 16's would be ok. .

i've looked at SPD, Rally Performance, and AV Sport, but i'm not sure where else to look.

thanks for any info.

Try Libra Racing , or Vermont Sports Car.

Just so you know, used rally wheels are next to impossible to come by (unlike used rally tires), and are generally on the last legs of their life by the time they're up for sale. The spares usually stay with the car even when the car itself changes hands.

What do you want them for? For rallycrosses, just buy a set of steel wheels. Rally-spec wheels are usually too heavy for autocrosses. Or, just find any set of stock alloys in the size that you want. Stick with wheels from standard passenger cars, as they tend to be substantially stronger than sports-style wheels (which are usually designed to be light, not necessarily as strong as you'll need for rally). There are plenty of rally cars out there that are still running stock wheels.

Another good source is the Classifieds forum on SpecialStage.com.

If anyone is interested, I would be willing to part with a set of 15x7 gold TH-2's with two sets of tires...

PM me if interested to discuss.

also, another thought
Legacy Turbo/Outback wheels are SOLID and make great rally wheels.... they can be had as cheaply as 4 for $200 even if you look hard enough...

just another suggestion as any used rally wheels are going to be hard to come by...

cheers
