Regarding to Cragar S/S wheels, you said that Cragar will do custom sized wheels. Are you sure about this ro do you just presuming it?
Because i really want custom bss on Cragar S/S wheels, and emailed them and they said: Sorry, cragar wheels does not have other bss.
Please answer
Thanks

Yes I am I had them do a set for me it was $10 more on each wheel. It took about a week longer to get them but they fit great. I got them from Wheel City in Evansville Ind.

I got there number off the net and called them. The lady I talked to said that they would do any wheel there number is 1-800-398-1367. Now I must say I got 15"x8" so maybe they do not do 17" but she said that they do any wheel. All I can go by is what she told me. Hope this helps

Magnus, I just ordered 17 x 8 ss cragars with 4.97 backspacing for front and 17 x 9 not 9.5 for rear with 5.5 b.s. It seems that cragar is having different manufacturers make the wheel depending on your location(this is just a hypothesis of mine based on several phone calls) I noticed that the people in San Bernadino, Ca. answered the phone as "performance wheel" not "cragar" Give them a call at (909)514-4584 and see if you have any luck. I just paid $305 for the fronts and $335 for the rears. I will have photos in about 3 weeks if all goes well. Damn this is confusing so let me know if you think there is any problems with these spacings. What do you think about tire sizes and brands for the 9" rims?

dceresa:
I just got a mail from Performance wheels, not Cragar? yesterday, and they said that they are coming with a new one pice aluminum cragar S/S wheel. The wheels i got is a aluminum spoke and a steel rim, so they are different from mine, im gonna order the new ones myself(damn, they are getting expensive) and have them in polished finnish.
Im going to choose 5.44" bss in fron on the 8" wide wheels and 5.5 bss on the 9" wide wheels.
Thanks
Btw, here they are: http://www.performancewheeloutlet.com/catalog4/merchant.ihtml?id=9&step=2
And it seems like the spoke base are little smaller than the one on mine. Wich is good, i had to grind a little on my calipers.
