I like both,tough decision.


I think I would prolly run the stars,because they are alot easier to care for,and don't rust,but man it looks good with both.

I think it looks good with both, I like the Cragars just a little bit better.

Are they Cragar Stars(steel)?72Shadetree had the best idea.Your choices are right in line with what I`d want.I`d confuse myself more with adding TorqueThrusts and AR200s to the mix.The biggest difference in your choice is vintage/period vs contemporary(somewhat).5-SPOKES RULE!
