Default Re: Cragar 15" X 4.5" Chevy bolt pattern - WIW

Paul (happy belated b-day btw), I got away from the car hobby for about 20 years and about 5 years ago, I picked up where I left off. I have been looking for a set of fat/skinnies Cragar wheels for one of my Camaros. I would like to see, on this site, a tutorial and pictures to ID the features you mention in hopes that guys like me know what to look for in dating and determining the chronological differences of Cragar SS wheels? I am on a budget, myself, but still want to make informed decisions if I find a wheel(s). Obviously, because I want an old school vibe and would like to emulate the Jenkins/Strickler look, the real deal wheels would be what I would want, but being on a budget, close may have to suffice. So, while looking, I would like to know what I am looking for and what I am looking at in these wheels. And, while prices are subjective and vary across the country, a price range guide for GM pattern wheels that fit 60-70s muscle would be very helpful. I would like to know if I should be looking for 14s or 15s? If 4, 4.5,5 in. Or what for the front? And rear choices or what is optimal for 69 Camaro anyway as far as width and offset? If 14s are worth less than 15s ? Thanks.
