Dude, choosin one of them is hard, you listed almost all the classic greats...all but the turbines.

Bamm · 08-19-2002, 06:26 PM

What about a sweet set of welds?...........JB

Burlinator · 08-19-2002, 06:55 PM

it just cant be beat

67 SS · 08-19-2002, 07:20 PM

Cragar's make anything look good.

Longhorn, which wheels are you callin' "turbines"?

Longhorn Man · 08-19-2002, 07:31 PM

also known as 'dukes of hazzard wheels'...I hate that name, but that's all some people know them as...

68 Suburban · 08-19-2002, 07:39 PM

Not aftermarket, but Corvette style rallies.

weasel29gm · 08-19-2002, 07:43 PM

OLD STYLE RALLYS AND CRAGER SS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dean23 · 08-19-2002, 08:00 PM

Cragar SS or the champ 500 form centerline

67 SS · 08-19-2002, 08:08 PM

Do they even make those turbines anymore?I've got a set on my '84(10's on back,8's on front) and they look good with the black paint,but I've seen them on other trucks and they didn't look right.Just my .02.

**Palf70Step** · 08-19-2002, 09:47 PM

Gues my age is showing too. I'm for the old school ralleys...but fo custom, to me you can't beat a set of Cragar SS

HvyChevy454 · 08-19-2002, 09:54 PM

definately Cragar SS!

PanelDeland · 08-19-2002, 09:57 PM

Steelies with beauty rings and your choice of center caps.

Longhorn Man · 08-19-2002, 10:18 PM

I think they were stopped in the early 80's or something...no telling. Mine are 9 1/2 inch wide front and back. I think they make the truck IMHO.

Hutch · 08-19-2002, 11:07 PM

My vote is for the Crager SS, but I like the looks of the old AR 200

Travis Byrne · 08-20-2002, 06:14 AM

It has to be the aluminum Slot. I have a set on my 1972 Chevy Nova. I had a set on my 72 truck, until big o left the lug nut loos and ruiened one of them. I also have a set of 6 lug that I will be putting on my granfathers 66 chevy short step side in the future. If I ever find the right set again they may go back on the truck. You never know.

Jwill41 · 08-20-2002, 08:57 AM

The Crager SS has always been my favorite.

MOTHERTRUCKERS · 08-20-2002, 09:33 AM
