Saw a nice set of wheels & tires on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...&item=4607549895&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT

Also a set of 2 brand new Keystone Classics

Also some brand new sets of 14 x 6 & 14 x 7 Cragars. Can't find them right now. Will post the URL when I track them down.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! :banghead:

I have been searching all over the place & can't find those Cragar wheels. They were 5 Spokes, your choice of four, small bolt pattern, for about $600.
:burnout:
 
The Cragars and Keystones require specialized lug nuts, might be harder to find than the wheels themselves!

I run Mopar small bolt rallyes on my car, with the acorn style center caps. I paid $200 CDN for the whole shebang, and I admit that was a deal. I had to have them sandblasted then I painted the rims with Krylon Dull Aluminum and the center caps with Totally Auto Argent silver.

I have a set of original 5.5" Formula S wheels and the wheel covers, but I'm reluctant to spend money to fix them all up, because I'm not sure I like that look.

I'm pretty sure the cragar wheels on ebay came with lug nuts, washers, & caps. I used to have a set of Rocket 14 x 7 wheels, very similar to the Cragar S/S, on my '64. They looked pretty good to me. They were called a Standard offset. They fit in the rear very well, but I had to run spacers on front. I think it was because the rim hit either the upper control arm or the tie rod end. A set of the Cragar wheels in a 15 x 7 would probably fit well, but probably be hard to find. I also remember seeing an orange late ''60s Dart with a white vinyl roof on a used car lot 30 years ago with the Cragar S/S wheels & they looked good. Don't know the width, but pretty sure the offset wasn't reversed.

:evil: "Dear Hard to get" Tell me about it. I'm in a crapping contest with Carlisle Tire (Cragar) as we speak to get one more SS 15 x 7" with the 5 x 4" BC out of them. It's to replace 1 out of the 2 they sent me, 3 weeks ago, thats out of round by 1/8". No there's not a mark on it or the box from mishandling. No question in my mind that it left their factory that way. They quit making the 5 x 4" SS in all sizes (14" + 15") 3 months ago maybe because their quality control "sucks".
 
How do you like these small bolt turbine wheels? They are on the '69 Valiant I just bought. Kinda cool. I wish I knew what kind of center cap they need?

Actually their from a front drive Chrysler Shelby... you know, those miserable K car deritives MaMopar made in the 80's? But a word of advice here:


DON'T USE THOSE WHEELS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bolt pattern is 5 X 100mm, or some such figure. The bolts holes are off by this much.... not quiet 4". You can jam them on (maybe why there's only 2 lugs on the wheels...) but DEFINITELY DON'T DRIVE IT!

Need more info !

I'd love to have a set of those for my dart....

Tell me 'bout it. Here in Europe y get 5x100mm thrown at ya, but those darn 5x4" are next to impossible to find.
 
My Cragers are for sale. 14X6, $600 for the set including the lug nuts. They are not unilug. The thread that I had them on probably disappeared
