the only thing I like better about the cragers is that they go wider than 8" if you wanted them too. Ive wanted to get a set of chrome IROCS but the only thing holding me back is I want at least 9" in the rear

Irocs would get my vote if it was my car, cragars just don't seem to fit on 3rd gens to me for some reason, i like them on old early 70s maros tho

I'm going with a set of 16x8 Torque Thrust in the original pattern. I like the old school look, gives the car a bit of a muscle car retro look. Flame if you want to, that's where I'm going.

i like em both. i think the iroc is way over done, but i still love em. just remember, cragers rust easily because they are steel with cheap-o crome. i've owned 3 sets of cragers, they love to rust up. i guess it depends on your location also.
i vote iroc----

Go w/ a 17in or 18in Iroc! I love the way they look!!! I just bought some Torque Thrust II's, and the polished aluminum really brings out the color of your car! It's up to you. You're the one who has to cruise on them in the end!

i bet you clean them a lot, ae? the set i have on my car now are atleast 3 years old. just starting to rust on the driver front. cragers also lose their "bling bling" after a while even with a good cleaning because of the type of croming they use
there is a difference between a 100 dollar crager crome and a 500 dollar crome wheel. in most cases, you get what you pay for.
