Title: Rally Wheels (ZJ9) & Z11's
Post by: my69Z28camaro on April 28, 2016, 06:25:18 PM: Did ALL Z11's (either the Z11's participating in the 1969 Indy 500 event or later replicas) only come from the factory with 15 inch Rally Wheels? Why I ask is that I am looking at a Z11 and it and several others that I have seen / looked at have 14 inch Rally Wheels.

Post by: jdv69z on April 28, 2016, 06:47:39 PM: 14 Inch. Only Z's or COPO's which ordered 15 wheels special came with 15's.

Post by: my69Z28camaro on April 28, 2016, 07:26:41 PM: Thanks for the comment. Also, I meant Rally Wheels (ZJ7), small typo.

Post by: my69Z28camaro on April 28, 2016, 08:26:34 PM: Paul: Thanks. I am looking at a Z11 pace car replica. So only the two Indy 500 pace cars had 15 inch rally wheels. Would that also be true for the "show finish" Indy 500 pace car given to Mario Andretti, 14 or 15 inch rally wheels?

Would not any cars ordered with JL8 be delivered with 15" Rallyes?

Post by: 1968RSZ28 on May 03, 2016, 04:03:12 PM: You're right, Gary. A Z11 with factory JL8 would have had 15" wheels.

Far as I know it does.

I don't know if there are any in the CRG database, but I looked at a wrecked Z11 in 1980 and it had JL8. I don't know if it was a factory install or not.
