Old style cragar ss vs the new style ss

[Day2_69Z]

I'm finishing up a very accurate period correct (1970-74 era). Day 2
69 Z/28 with SS Cragars, 8 1/2 X15 rear & Aluminum slots 15X7 fronts.
In finding originals that size I found nothing but Junk or flaking,peeling Uni-lugs that were unacceptable to use
(anybody having mint or NOS Wheels either wanted stupid $$$ or weren't for sale) or had 'bad rechroming'

I Chose the New SS Direct fit single bolt circle with the Best Chrome these wheels have had in 35+ years.
Yes, these are flat spokes mounted on Original Good Year L60's & F60's.
I used Original centers with the bold script & blue paint .
They Look fine on the car, fit the wheelhouse without air shocks or shackles (barely) These Are safe with no Fatigue or hidden cracked welds or damaged spokes as I will Run the car on the Dragstrip @ well over 100 mph along with hard Street use.
Taking in account Quality,Looks,New Chrome, Size and backspacing and Of Course SAFETY, this was a No Brainer in Choosing the "Newest Cragar SS vs
questionable original uni-lugs that are actually Incorrect for my Build.

If Cragar Industries Remakes the "Round spoke in Direct fit",,, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.....just saying.
Thanks, this is a great thread !
