Default Re: Old style cragar ss vs the new style ss

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: markinnaples</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Just a side note: Paul's Chrome was started by my business partner's good friend. I guess Paul sold the business but kept the building and name and continues to get rent and other income from Paul's Chrome nowadays. Interesting that they don't do that bright white chrome. So, which looks best, today's current brand new Cragars that have the bright white chrome or older ones that are rechromed? Or, does it depend on how well the chroming process is done on the older ones? </div></div>

The 15x4's I had above are the correct Cragar hexevelant chrome and match the current Cragar chrome---though I should say factory Cragar chrome was thin and not as shiny as the current Cragar chrome. I would suspect Cragar is having their chrome done offshore and the wheels are welded together in the US.

I know Paul told me only a handful of chrome co's were still doing hexavelant chrome and this was 8-10 years ago.
