cragar rims

any body ever seen aluminum cragar wheels like these?

 

Yep........looks like G/T wheels

 

i never seen them before in aluminum wonder where you can find em

 

aluminum with steel rims

 

no these are all aluminum

 

in my shop we store way to many rims, i think ive seen a couple of those down there, might of s****ped em though. whats the story?

 

are you sure there not magnessum wheels...they look like a set of magnessum rims i had awhile back ..but the center cap was different

 

Yeah, just got rid of a set a few months back....Very kool rim and one you dont come across to often.

 

well i found a pair 15x6 for sale looking for 2 more but never new they were made all aluminum or maybe magniesium

 

Check again, cause I have never seen an "all aluminum" Cragar GT, and I have been checking out these wheels for over a decade. They have a steel hoop and only the very small edge of it shows from the front.

First made about 1964-65, they were mostly 14x6, and sometimes 15x6. Don't think they made any wider. Chevy BCs are most common, and occasionally you'll find Ford or 5"ers. Never seen a 5.5" BC though.

The aluminum alloy probably has more magnesium in it than other aluminum wheels. Has a darker gray look to it, and tarnishes faster (I should know, I had a fully polished set for years). But it is not all magnesium.

 

thank you sir ... you are right closer look steel ring

 

32v, I have a 1966 Cragar G/T "Mags" 4 page leaflet if you are interested which I could scan and email to you. As alchemy says they only came in 14x6 and 15x6 with 4 1/2, 4 3/4 and 5" bolt circles.
They had a 6 lug adapter for Chevvy pickups.
Back in 66 they were $36 a wheel.

swifty

 

Neet

 

If you shop around a bit, you can still pay about that much, or even less.

 

junk... send them to me and I can destroy them for ya.

 

I dunno about that. I'm 99 percent sure that I've got these same Cragars on the front of my f100 and they are 5x5.5 pattern

 

Check ebay and see what they are selling for.

 

I just found a pair of these in my dad's garage. They are 14 x 6. Call me if you are interested in buying them 847 5993496
