The 1970 model year was the first year Rallyes were offered, so there is not a '69 model year center.
 
If you want the 1970 type, look for the small center cone in light argent paint.

Use your choice of the 70, 71 or 72 centers. If you still have SBP then you'll need the 7/16th chrome lug nuts. If you've converted to LBP, then use the 1/2 chrome nuts
 
I bought a new set of '70 Rallye centers (came with fasteners) from Laysons. I prefer the '70 centers because they're light argent (silver), whereas the '71 centers are the dark argent. I didn't think Rallyes were available in '69, so I can't speak about those. Also, I bought a set of chrome trim rings from ebay. Unfortunately, they are not as deep as I'd hoped they would've been. Good luck to you!

Like i said i have a line for the centers and i think they are from a 70 should the trim rings be 2 1/2" deep? I read another post about it.

I think you are looking at something like this, right? The trim rings are really deep -- basically, they go back as far as they can until they hit the center circle. Unfortunately, I don't have them available to measure.

This is weird... I got wondering what exactly the trim out on a 1970 rally wheel looked like, so I googled the 1970 Dodge Dart brochure, and guess what --it shows the rally wheel with NO center cap. Very strange. You can see the five small screw holes. Bottom left. I suppose this was one of those "it wasn't ready for the advance photo shoot" deals...

OK, the Plymouth Makes It brochure from 1970 has a good photo. It shows the small center in light argent, with a polished trim ring. My Barracuda that I posted had the later center (is that what they call the "acorn"?) and a brush finish trim ring (which I kind of prefer).

Thanks Max things are kind of quiet over on the BOG the center cap i was shown today by the guy at Mopar City where i picked up the wheels looks just like that. He claims he has a NOS set of center caps. These wheels are for my 69 vert that I'm working on.

Max did you ever get your car back from the body shop?
 
I assume you have had your car and know this....but just in case you could have left hand threads on your driver side.

I still have the reverse threads left on one of the back wheels. The front wheels both have right hand threads because i did a disc brake swap on it.

Heh heh... no, it's still languishing. Right now I couldn't even deal with it. I have the convertible as my driver and two disassembled projects in the carport. Funny, my convertible also has LH threads just on the left rear. Same deal -- I did a disk swap and changed the studs out while I was at it (I used A-body K-H components). Haven't really been motivated to pull the axle yet... I have the studs already.
