Wheels: Going Old School. Cragar new SS

[Bravo]

Cragar just offered a new 22" wheel in one piece aluminum that mimics the old SS wheels some of us old-timers had back-in-the-day.
I pulled the trigger...and now I'm waiting.
Pic for your veiwing pleasure........

With a drop kit I think those will look sick!

Sweet - love the old-school stuff!

Looks nice, but I would have to see one with a tire mounted up before I would pull the trigger.

me too...but those are definately kickass

 

[Bravo]

It's tough to pull-the-trigger

tough to pull, but made easier when I look at the pitted flaking china-clones that grace my otherwise perfect truck now. I wanted Foose MHT Nitrous, but those guys are lame as in zero before sale service. God what could I expect after the sale?
I had cragars ss wheels on my first car (55 chevy 210 post I bought for $500) which I towed out of a field in Brooktondale NY when I was 16. Fixed it up hot, and wish I still had it. The new wheels will remind me of the great times I had in that car.

I had Crager`s on my `78 Trans Am I bought in `77 after graduating from high school.They are SSweet man. Not sure I can visualize them on the truck but I can`t wait to see the finished pics.

Cragar's are generally chromed. These look to be chromed to me.

 

[Broke]

Cragar sold their company several years ago, (can't remember what company bought them) and bought the rights to use Cragar's name. The current Cragar's are not the quality of the ones from years past. About 3 years ago, I bought a set for my 57 Belair 2drht and 2 years ago I bought a set for my 67SS Chevelle. The chrome is somewhat questionable and kind of looks cheaply made. On the 15" rims, you can only get them in unilug. I only drove the cars on nice summer weekends and have since sold them, so I can't tell you how the wheels actually held up. I would be cautious of Cragar's quality.

 

[Craig]

Hmmmm I can't picture them on the truck... i'm anxiously awaiting pics of the finished product!!

They look too much like regular Dodge Ram rims (also see them on some Rumble Bees) for me. But I like the finish on the rims, looks clean.

They do look a lot like the Ram rims. I always did like Cragars though, it was a must on almost every car in high school, with 50's on the back!

 

[tat2stuff]

have you seen these frm KMC ? they are the same style and I think the quality is a lot better
