As a street racer of the 60s-70s I was around a lot of custom wheels. I personalty owned 5 different sets of wheels including one set of Cragers over that time frame. Working at my buddies speedshop/garage I have mounted and changed tires on many customers rides. We did good careful work and did a lot of it. Every person that worked at that garage was a serious car person and we were kept busy!

Cragers look dated, and I do not like them anymore......however Torque Thrusts look good on nearly any car, and have stood the test of time much better

Cragars were cool but I liked my Keystone Klassics more.

This is true. I love the look of the Cragar SS wheels, introduced 60 years ago, but if I ran them again, I would run the non-unilug version.
Cragar SS or American Torque Thrust originals look great on every car from the 70's on back. They just need to be 15" ort 14"----none of this 20" ghetto shit. |

My Ranger has a payload of 1800#, towing capacity of 7500#, real 4WD high and low, electronic locking rear differential, and cost me only $34k. I'll take that over a sideways engine unibody "truck" all day long.

Ranger does not equal "truck". Like the redneck version of a Subaru Brat.
