My new rims...

Just wanted to see what you all think of my Cragar SS's

17x8 front with 255's
17x9 back with 275's

and NO I don't care that they are heavy they are just for looks...
beside they will match the 15" SS's on my 67'

That looks really good!! Are you planning on lowering it with some springs? Also what size are those sidewalls, 40's or 45's?

Similar style but I like the grey combo.



Problem is ... I just noticed that there's no 16 inch size listed.

THANKS, ESP:

SCCA Solo II racing, they come on and off regularly... 7 mil. Vinyl,
but most of the race season they stay since it's every other weekend, then I just add the #28's to the windows!

I think that is the perfect blend of retro muscle car appeal coupled with modern body lines. As they say in Italia, "Bella!"

YES they are VERY heavy, especially compared to the 4th gen SS 17"'s, but that's ok they are for looks alone, 16x8 GTA rims are for racing...

Those are sweet wheels.
What are they made out of? Cast Iron? Are they really as heavy as the above posts state?
