To my knowledge the Chevrolet Impala included full wheel covers as part of the Impala trim package. The Rally wheels were an extra cost option and were required when ordering Disc Brakes and then the wheels would be 15" in diameter instead of the standard 14" wheels, this was for clearance for the brake calipers. The Rally wheels could be had on any full size model starting in '67. I lived in an area were a lot of people buying or ordering new cars at the time would try and get them with Disc Brakes since brake fade was pretty common in most mountain areas. There were even station wagons with Rally wheels since they were required with Disc Brakes. I even had them on my new '68 Bel Air two door also since I ordered that car with Disc Brakes. The center cap for the Rally wheels was a unique one year only design and not the larger "Hat" type usually seen on later model cars. The AMT '67 Impala SS kit has the correct center cap as does the AMT '67 Camaro kit. They are on the chrome tree, but if you're going for a true showroom appearance you'll want to paint the wheel area, where the slots are, a semi flat silver color. This would be true for any of the following year models as well. As suggested by Oldcarfan27 the Hub Caps from the El Camino kit would be very close to what you would need for a standard and most common Impala. I hope this helps and doesn't confuse. Doesn't confuse at all in fact it clarifies. Now that I know for sure in the states you could have gotten a 67 4 door with rallies on it stock it opens up the possibilities....
