Hot Rods Cragar with a center ring? What am I looking at?? lol Never in my life

Had to buy these only reason was because of the bizarre ring on the rears only super weird what is this?

 

@Moriarity any clue?

 

Nice find!

 

I understand the need to buy them, they are weird. But I can't say I like them, good score.

 

Is it not just a weird reflection?

 

nm i got there to pick them up its a front wheel sitting inside the back lolol OMG

 

Is the front a 13" or something ?

 

Never have seen that one. Looks like its a Uni Lug model.

 

Those would look cool with baldy caps.

 

I kinda like them

 

What size are they and what does the back of the wheel look like? HRP

 

That's hilarious. I too was having a really hard time figuring out exactly what I was looking at in that picture. But that makes sense now that you say it.

 

They do make a Cragar looking wheel for golf carts. FWIW. No idea what I'm seeing here....

 

So they set another smaller wheel inside a larger One? !
What was the purpose of
,Joke , Misleading.
How was add wrote & Described,
Was it done to draw attention to the sale of wheels as Rare / custom .

 

I'm thinking the rears were super deep offset with basically no backspacing, and the fronts were very narrow, also with very little backspacing, so when the wheels were stacked up with one of the fronts upside down below the giant rears, it lined up to look like some kind of alignment ring when really it was just the back of one of the front wheels.

I don't think it was intentional, just an odd picture.

 

What diameter is the little wheel in the center? The spokes are so short.

 

Yeah I agree. that must be a 10" (or smaller) golf cart rim sitting inside a 15" (or larger) Cragar.

 

What would be the purpose and what would be the application. I'm thinking that they are a one-off custom. Production costs would be phenomenal.
Also, with the knowledge here on the HAMB (@Moriarity +) If nobody has seen it...

 

Before we are swept off down a rabbit hole, read post #7. The case would appear to be closed.....

 

Guys, you're only looking at one wheel here, for the most part. The wheel has a super deep dish, and you can see a reflection of the spokes in the dish. Those outer spokes are just a reflection, look at where the valve stem is and the magic eye picture starts to dissolve.

I think you guys were seeing something I was not seeing before. It's a perspective thing. It only looks like a tiny wheel inside another wheel because the center is so far away from the outer part of the rim. It's just a really deep Cragar. There's not a tiny golf cart wheel in there.

 

...or just photo shopped...a pic of one reduced and overlayed on another one

 

I think this qualifies as winner in Stump the HAMB.

 

where's the valve stem for the inner wheel?

 

Yup.....optypical delusion.

Mystery solved. Thanks @Moriarity.
