Cragar ss 15 X 4 5-4.75 direct bolt pattern on Ebay

[Bernhard]

I have two sets of 15 x 4 direct bolt Cragar SS wheels.
One set is driver quality the other set needs to be re Chromed
I’m leaning toward 69 date coded wheels that I will have re-chromed.

Be careful with the re-chroming. If the wheels getting the re-chrome have pits in them chances are you are not going to be happy with the outcome. You really have to have a good set to start with. Peeling chrome is OK.

This discussion about the 15x4’s and difference in the first style and second style of the original wheels was on the site here about a years or so ago with good pics showing the two wheels. I have the second style 15x4’s on my car now. When I bought them they were okay driver quality. I searched for ever before finding a chrome shop that would replate them.
I’d post pics here but it would be easier for me to find the cure for the common cold than figure out how to post a pic! I’ve got a lot of money in mine so if you can find a nice set for 6 or 7 hundred you better get em.

Thanks for the reply, I agree the core wheel has to be a pit free clean original.

Bill knows all about this as he found a company in California that re-plated a set of wheels for him. I don't believe this service comes with a guarantee that the castings won't break when they are separated for plating if I recall correctly?
