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

The latest ones are made with the newer spoke tooling and can be had with straight pattern. If you can get past (most don't even notice) the flat spoke look and find the right conical lug- they are a great wheel. Chrome is much better than any of the Originals ever had!

Before the retool, they also made some 4.5" with the unilugs- much more traditional looking though the chrome was also higher quality. I personally would prefer to run these over the current offerings- and if I find a set at a swap meet for fair money- I'll scoop them up all day. With the right washer, few will notice they are unilug.

At the end of the day, the day 2 purist/ wheel snob in me really appreciates when someone uses the truly authentic equipment. If you can't find any, run these till you do. Would love to see pics of what you're considering. GOOD LUCK!
