Where can I find these kind of Mopar Rally wheels. When I search all I can get to show up are the Challenger/Cuda versions. Do these have a specific name that is different?

16 Slot Chrome Road Wheels 15x6 W23 option code 1970 was the first C-body year. Became VERY popular option on 1975-1978 Cordobas and New Yorkers.
1977 Chry LeBaron had them in 15x7 size. Quite rare, I suspect.

Will need trim rings and the center cap (which uses SPECIAL bolts to hold it on from the backside. Only the center section around slots has chrome on it, rest is painted.

Every so often, some turn up on here for sale.

AMC had some which look similar, but NOT the same base wheel.

The W23's are my favorite C Body wheels. I have one set on my New Yorker and even a matching spare and also a spare set of 5 in case another C body comes along.

These were also available as an option on Chevy Trucks, so if you are looking at a place where you aren't real sure where the wheels came from, check the bolt circle. 4 1/2" for the Mopar versus whatever the Chevy is (4 3/4" 5"??).
 
The Chevy light truck wheels should be 5x5, I believe. 5x4.75 was on the intermediate and smaller cars, at least in the 1970s. 5s5 was also on the larger, full-size cars of the 1970s, too.
 
I scored mine for $40/per, to get a set of 5 for $200 on Craigslist. My point here is that the best place to get these is to find a private individual who just needs to sell them. IFF my blood pressure stabilizes (there is SOME hope) then I'll finish painting my 16 slot 1970 rims, buy some nice rubber for them, and roll on them for the next 4-5 years.
 
I recently scored a (4) set on FB with no damage and great chrome for $100.00, shipping was $100.00 but I thought I did OK, make sure they have pentastar.

Visually they are different regardless of bolt pattern .

Oh yeah, mine all have it. I posted about these late last year. They polished up so nice, I wondered if they had been done in stainless. All 1970, all have the Pentastar. To spare Joey's server, I'll refrain from reposting pics here. I got a little of Mother's paste and some buffing attachments, which is bringing the chrome out very well.
