Cragar SS wheels

Wanting some Cragar SS wheels for my 53 Studebaker.

Looking at a pair that have never been mounted at a reasonable price.

Do they still make Cragars that are NOT unilug? These are obviously not unilug.

I checked on the Summit website, and they are all unilug in 15x6.

Missed them. Only on CL for 3 hours, and already sold.

We had a customer buy new Cragars a few years ago that were not unilug and I was surprised. I thought they were all unilug too, but these were new wheels he purchased from a local tire dealer. They MAY have been 14", I don't recall for certain.

OK, you made me look. This is a list of the wheels from Cragars web site. They don't list any multi-fit bolt patterns. They are all separate part numbers now...:dunno: About time, I stopped buying them when they went to multi-fit and the washers caved in at torque spec.

Thanks for the links.

Good to know they went back to direct drill.

I thought the originals were unilug?

Original Cragars from the 60's were not unilug.

When did they go to Unilug then? I thought I remembered reading (I wasn't there- born in '99) that most of them in the 1970s were unilug

No the originals were direct drill and they went to unilug in the late 60's, I "think". I bought a pair in about '71 and they were unilug and I was not impressed. Love them on our area cars, but hadn't bought any since that set. I'll be looking it at them again for my Chevelle's.
