I've had many Cragar SS wheels in the past and never really had any troubles with rust. What was a common problem back then was peeling chrome on the spokes. That part is or was made from an alloy metal and the chrome would always peel there no matter how well you maintained them.

Another trouble area is you have to be very careful when mounting or dismounting tires. (tell the guy doing the work to be extra careful) Many of SS wheels came away from the tire machine with a broken center! (part where cap sits over)

I've had my fill of these wheels a long time ago and haven't had any in a long time so can't say if the newer built ones are better, worse or the same.
