Here are the cragars on my old 70 Chevelle. Loved those wheels! Always look great on any old muscle car. I had the torque thrust on my 74 vette. They look great also.

I had Cragar S/S deep dish wheels on my 70 SS396 Nova. Ahhh, those were the days.

Default Cragar wheels

Thanks for all the quick feedback guys. It sure brought some great memories seeing marv1's Chevelle ans 84zz's Camaro . I have been to th e CRAGAR website and the S/S series is still made, but the offset will deem a special order. Will look in to this further. Also, now I can even spell it right, boy I hate getting old!
Thanks again!
Rob

Its nothing like a clean set of classic Cragars... I thought about getting a set for my 72Nova but the rally's I have on their now are powdercoated and clean!

I also had a set of Cragar SS rims on my 1970 442 W-30. Beautiful rim.
