They were cool in the day, but no longer a fan myself.

This. I always like the triangular center caps on the OP pictured wheels.


And you can never go wrong with Cragers on Cameros.


Pretty sure @Giraffe can testify to that. Where is that guy, anyway?

My favorite Cragar style were with the grayish spoke and the rim being chrome, I think American Racing has them

I won't post a pic of the new car until I get a chance to warsh it. 50's next week for a few days

I like the simple design of the muscle wheels. The complex euro crap now does not really impress me. I don't want my Chevy trying to look like a eurolozenge.

I got new wheels delivered and then paired them with PS 4 AS at TR/DT a few days ago. My PS 4S are now in hibernation.

still cool wheels, on the right ride....

I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone actually put aftermarket wheels on Ridgeline

I prefer Torq Thrust wheels. Both are great if period correct.

I had a pair of Cragers back in the day on a 59 HT vette. Yhey are a steel
wheel and the only ones I ever had. I prefer aluminum AR wheel. They are
lighter.

My d.d. is a Hyundai Santa Cruz. Came with the ugliest OEM wheels I’ve ever seen on a car. Replaced them with some cheap aftermarket wheels.

Smooth, don’t be hatin’ V.B.

I had a set on one of my Vettes back in the day and loved them. I just think they were over done and almost looked like stock wheels they were on so many vehicles.
