Here's an ebay auction for these wheels. The auction has a pic of a 67 Camaro with these wheels mounted.

I think if you look hard, the centre hub is a little different than the weld wheel!

Ok, so maybe I am a throw back ... although these wheels are very nice, I still like the look of the old fashion shiny chrome Cargar S/S wheels.

is the quality of the chrome on the old style Cragar wheels perfected now?? up to even 3-4 years ago they were know to peel, flake around the hub area?

I can't really say for sure. I have never had a problem in the past. My last car, a SS Nova they stayed very nice. But the car never saw any bad weather and was garage kept.
I have seen rough chrome cragars on cars (pitting), but never had a problem myself.
