AL Cragar 15x8 5 on 5 wheels - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

4 15x8 cragar ss wheels. Three are pretty nice one is a little rough. They were made for a 88-99classic truck with metric lugs but I don't see why they wouldn't work on our trucks. 300 with the standard centers and 350 with the cragar 3 bar knock off centers also. We only washed one but I did rub on the bad one only in the outer lip area. The rest will cleanup nicely.

I'm thinking about this.

We already have a set that we'd planned to use but I think I might like these better.

That first picture look pretty rough. Is there any way you could clean them up a little better and take some better pictures? I'd love to have them if they all looked like that one shiney one, but then I'd hate to buy them knowing that one was all beat up.

It will probably be this weekend because they are in storage. Everything will come off except the stuff in the groove of the outer lip of the one wheel. Some of it may come off but not all of it. the rest of that wheel and the rest will clean up very nicely.

I'm gonna have to back away from this...not because it's not a fair deal, but because I've seen so much stuff on here that I want and I've spent so much on bumpers and cross members and some other stuff that I need to let my old lady settle for a little while before I hit her up with another purchase.

I do like the cragars though. Wish timing were different.

I got the worst wheel so I can try to clean it up this weekend. I actually have 5 wheels one is labeled bad but doesn't appear hurt. These wheels need to be balanced on the car/truck and it that wasn't done that may be why they said it was bad. It has two small flaws in the chrome but I have pics and they are minor.
