always liked that style of wheel on these trucks...

mikej71 · 07-18-2002, 03:10 PM

They look awesome!
I was seriously considering buying a set, until I read your post about all the trouble you've had. I wonder what makes them fit differently than any other 15" wheel?

Chevy409 · 07-18-2002, 03:29 PM

Holy sh!t, nice looking truck you got there. My brother put some cragars on his '57 and I swear they look awesome on anything "...hmm, my mothers Caravan..."

Nice rims... they're actually Cragar SS, not SST. They are the king of the classic 5 spoke!

XXL,
i ve seen them as both, on the box they were shipped to me they were labeled just SS but on one of the websites while i was shopping around (i dont remember which one) they were labeled SST.

Sounds like the web site had a typo. The SST was a follow-on to the S/S and is a solid, flat dish chrome wheel much like the classic Centerline race wheels--

Here's the S/S (from Cragar.com)--

and here's the SST--

Either way, they are a great looking wheel!
