Share your buildHow Our Wheels Are Made
In the 1960s, most wheels left the factory as stamped steel — pressed in pieces, welded together, dressed up with a hubcap. It was the best the era could build. Every VFW wheel starts differently: one solid block of forged aluminum, shaped under pressure and machined to tolerances that didn't exist back then. Same soul. Stronger metal.
Every wheel starts as one solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum. No welds. No seams. The entire wheel is cut from that block.
A forging press shapes the billet under thousands of tons of pressure. This aligns the metal's grain and closes the voids left by casting. Heat treatment locks in the strength.
CNC machines cut the final shape. We confirm the fitment with you before setting the bolt pattern and backspacing.
Before shipping, we balance and inspect every wheel. Then it's crated and insured for the trip to your garage.
The design
A wheel should look right from across the street and reward a closer look. Here is what gives the Rally its character, and what sits underneath it.
Monoblock means the wheel is machined from a single forged block of 6061-T6 aluminum: no welds, no seams, no separate center and barrel bolted together.
The bolt pattern and backspacing are machined to the fitment we confirm with you first, so the wheel is made for the car it is going on.
The rim lip and spoke faces are machined to hold light, and an engraved aluminum center cap closes the design at the hub.
Heritage
The original
Chevrolet introduced the Rally wheel in 1967 as its performance wheel. The slots weren’t decoration. Disc brakes were arriving, and the steel wheel needed a way to shed heat. Chevrolet put it on cars meant to look quick, and it still does.
What we changed
Ours keeps the slotted face and the flat, honest look, but uses forged aluminum instead of stamped steel. It is lighter than the original despite its larger diameter. The slots are cut, not punched, and the move from 15 to 17 inches gives you tire and brake choices the original never had. Same shape on the car. Half a century of better metallurgy underneath it.
