Do you know who makes these wheels

Been looking at wheel choices for days because I have to make a decision ASAP. Does anybody know who manufactures these wheels?

What size do you think they are? Any help would be appreciated.

I also like Centreline smooties and Detroit steel but prefer the ones up top

Re: Do you know who makes these wheels

I'd say he had an inside connection with Cragar To just have them copper plated they would have to be clear coated though as the copper would tarnish in short order otherwise.
The wheel in chrome can be found here http://www.jegs.com/p/Cragar/Cragar-...52139/10002/-1
Of course you can use your own sources when you have a Cragar parts number if you want to.

You could also have them copper plated yourself possibly. Check with a company that does chrome refinishing. I think the copper is part of the process.

It sure is! They plate in copper first, then chrome over the copper. Here's a picture of my rear bumpers. The chrome shop tried to re-use the original, even getting it to the point of plating in copper, but ultimately there was an old weld that just couldn't be fixed up good enough to save the bumper. So they chromed a new raw bumper that they had sitting around and sent them both back to me.
