    Those look pretty slick, kind of a cross between a Cragar and an old Hurst mag. What sizes did they offer?

    They look almost like a Radir Wheel!

    The only place I've found them with sizes and prices is Jegs. They're called eliminators.

    While I was looking around I also found these, I don't know if they are new for 09 or not, but I have never seen them:

  6. I saw their ad in the new R&C. The satin finish looks really good. They have 4 new styles, not bad looking for a Neo-retro wheel.

    Nitrofc, The jegs price is like 50.00 to 60.00 dollars cheaper! And the pictures work for a MAC.

    Just buy Radirs. They are made in the USA and you will be helping a HAMBer out.
     
  10. Terry,

    Check out the Radir website. In gallery there is a flamed 54 with Radirs and wide whites. It looks pretty slick! Todd

    CRAGAR, not Crager, Crater, Cratar, or Kregar, CRAGAR
     
  12. They look like the "rim" on redline Hot Wheels. I like 'em

    Radir:
    15X7 = $309.00
    15X8 = $319.00

    Cragar:
    15X7 = $139.00
    15X8 = $149.00

    I would LOVE a set of Radirs but Cragar are more in the budget.

    Although here is another problem, We are planning on Billetproof in July. It says in the rules no wheels made after the 60s allowed. So......

    Even steel wheels were made after 60's. Rally's new Artillery wheels are slick but they are not the same as the artillery wheels of the 30's. So I think they protest to much. If you're concerned, get a set of old steelies and run them to Billetproof, than afterwards take them off, stack them in the garage for the next Billetproof and put your new Cragars back on.:D
