Identifying OEM vs. Repop Rallye Wheels

Post by 71_bronze_gtx » Tue Jul 01, 2014 7:10 am

Did Chrysler put any distinguishing marks on the inside or back side of it's rallye wheels, such as a Pentastar or Chrysler part number?

Finally got around the putting new wheels and tires on my GTX and had a little surprise - two different wheel sizes on the front. Probably why the car used to track right.

All in all had three 15x6-1/2" and one 15x7". A little dinged up but fixable. The center caps and beauty rings are decent. I suppose I'll sell them. Not worth much if they're repops.

Originals should have part number and date code stamps on them. Here's all I could find for you on moparts

I'm sure I have more information at home if I can remember to look it up.

Thanks, Eric. Now I know where to look. I degreased and pressure washed the wheels last night. Have to scrape some surface rust off the insides.

The center caps are all OEM, so maybe the wheels too.

What about the beauty rings? Don't see any logos or markings at all on mine.

The wheels and center caps all appear to be OEM.

I put all of it on Craigslist Detroit last night.
