Cragar Ss
Does any one on the Forum have Cragar SS wheels on their Ride? Pic Please. What size?
Interested in putting them on my 01 but have not seen any pics.

I haven't seen any posted here either. I like the looks of the Cragars on older muscle cars, but maybe not on a C5.

The largest size offered is 17x9, composite: Aluminum/Steel.
Had the 15's on my '68 Chevelle. Loved them. But, don't think they would look that good on a C5.
Might look good if they had them in 18"-20" sizes.

I think they're somewhat outdated for newer cars. I did have them on my 1970 SS 396 Nova and they looked great.

I too would like to see them on a C5.
I myself am looking at buying some torque thrust style with gray centers. I`m one for have something different also. Not just settling on the same old wheel everybody else has.

Cragar SS
The recent article is what peaked my interest. Love to actually see them on a C5!!!
I too had them on my 67 GOAT. Matter of fact I still have the rims in the garage. Just the rims. The Goat was stolen
Keep the feedback coming. Someone knows where er can get the Cragar SS in 18.
Thanks
FRED

If they are available in 18" I might give them some serious thought.
Anyone know where they got the 18"s ?
