Customs Will these new Cragar wheels get me banned???

hey Guys I have been looking for a nice set of Fenton Hawks for a while now and have not had any real luck, they are either bent, rotted or way overpriced!! Plus the fact that these wheels have been known to come apart from the hoop and that would be really bad while driving. So I have been looking around for a good alternative, and stumbled across the new Cragar 500 wheels, my plan is to have these wrapped with some wide white radials-let the groaning begin!!!-but I would hate to drop the coin and then not be allowed into my favorite type of shows like the Hunnert or Vintage Torque Fest because i have too new a wheel on a vintage car. Please let me know what you guys think, and i have a post to have somebody photoshop them on the car to see what they would look like fer sure. But please let me know if they would seal my fate or look enough like a Fenton Hawk to be period correct.....Thanks for the help!!

 

I kinda like'em...

 

You may not get into teh Pileup but I would run the wheels, they look like my old Fentons only better.

 

Won't get ya banned......but ww's on those wheels? Uh......no.

 

I've got a soft spot for cragers. If you like em....it don't matter what anybody else thinks.

 

On that note, I would ask the Czars how they would feel about this rim at the gate to the pile up. They have a message board just like this format.

 

Reminds me of the old Indy 500 Speed wheels I had on one of my cars. I like them...60s looking.

 

I agree. Have some PS those wheels & tires on your ride before you pull the trigger on the tires.

 

Gotta get redline tires to go with those!!!!!!!!!

 

i dont see where a copy of an old wheel should cause problems. just my 2 cents( redlines ugh)

 

Wheels look good but not the wheels for www tires.

 

They look damn good with wide whites. Unfortunately, I sold the car they were going on and sold the wheels/tires too.

 

Trust me, they would look good on those!!

 

Whitewalls on those wheels............HECK Yeah it would look good....DO IT!!!

 

Uhhh... still no...

 

Narrow pinners, double pinners or redlines. Thats all that looks right on them.

 

You guys conjoined twins or something?

 

That's it... your banned not only on the HAMB but on the whole internet!

Might as well give me the wheels right now to avoid future issues...

 

yep

 

yep

 

Got 'em on my daily driver '55, get lots of compliments on 'em. Cragar marketed a very similar wheel in the mid sixties. But width wide whites? No No NO.

 

I just wish they made them in a 15x4. They definitely look like Fenton Hawks.

With WW's... ahh... NO!

 

Do you like them? Thats all that counts! These are not cookie cutter cars.

 

huh, rules on whether or not you can buy your own rims, and ride them on your own car. where do you live mamsy pamsy land?

if those shows dont like the wheels you like, just switch them back to steel wheels for the show. when its over put on whatever you like, its your fucking car.

 

Dude, those are ugly as hell! Send them to me and I will dispose of as required. Really- they are pretty bad ass!

 

I think I like 'em with the wide whites. Ask for some photoshop help from the computer whizzes on here & let's see how they look.

 

uh, if you have gate nazi's at your car show/cruise in, allowing what fits the rules and what doesn't, it is not a car show/cruise in. Run what ya' brung and do not be ashamed.

 

those wheels should be banned from the market

 

I llike 'em. go for it!
