Default Got new wheels!

I put new Cragar Super-Spoke wheels on my '81 yesterday.....they look awesome!

I'll get some pics to post tonight.
This also leaves my stock chrome wheels to sell. I'll get pics of them also and post in the "for sale" forum, if anyone's interested let me know.

Yes, they're the stock polished (I believe) rims from the '81.
