Default Re: Vintage Wheels

I took one of the Zs out today...weather's finally getting decent! These are 15x6 Cragar G/T wheels from 1966 that I restored over the winter. Center caps were rechomed by Courtesy Metal Plating in Villa Park, IL, and none other than our own Bob G. detailed them!



I first saw a set of rough G/Ts at the Jefferson swap meet when I was 12. Finally came across a restorable set on Ebay and picked them up last year. These are composite construction (steel rim, Al center). Fit great on the car and clear the 4-piston calipers without a spacer.

This is a 27000 mile drag car that was fluffed in the mid-80s, so the tow tabs and Cragars are justified!
