What does everyone think of the NEW Cragar SS one piece polished aluminum alloy wheels. They look alot like the origionals but polished aluminum. up to 20" sizes. I think I may have found my new wheels.

If you like the polished look, check out the Centerline warriors. I just put a set of warriors on my 68 and they look awesome. I went with 8.5 15" with 5 backspace on rear and 7 15" on the front with BF Goodrich T/A's 255/60 15 and 215/60 15.

I have Cragar S/S 17" wheels on my car, bad thing is that they dont have much BSS to choose from. 7" wide 3,5" bss, 8" 4,5" bss and so on. And thats not enough for a lowered with discbrakes, atleast not on my car.

I just put AR 200s 17x8s on my 69 last Dec. Not sure I like them. Saw a 67 or 68 at the Portland rod and custom show with the cragars and they looked sweet. Might have to do a swap myself......

Cragar will make any back spaceing you need all you have to do is have your dealer tell them what you wont. If he tell you that they will not he dose not wont to take the time to mess with you.

Wheres all this talk about dickbrakes coming from???? I said discbrakes, re-read and see for yourselfs =)

And regarding to the cragar wheels i have talked to cragarwheels and they DO NOT make any custom wheels, so i said to them, Now i know why everyone uses AM racing wheels. And they answered, Sorry we only have these sizes.
17"x7 3,5" bss 17"x8 4,5" bss 17"x9 5,5" bss

and the 8" also have 3,5" bss and the 9" also have 4,5" bss.

Tim Meredith:
But i would be really happy if you could somehow fix with cragar so i could get an 8" with 5 3/4" bss =)

And here you can see my wheels on the car, the car on the pics are lowered in Photoshop, so it looks good, but in real life the front wheels is almost resting on the wheelopening.
