I can't get you any pictures of it now, being as my scanner is down. But I can tell you that my brother had a set on his and it looked nice. He got compliments on it all the time.It was an '87 bird with a fresh GM bright red paint job.

90% of the thirdgens that I've seen with Cragar SS rims were totally rednecked-up. They looked horrible. There's one 82-83 black T/A with gold GFX and the cragar SS rims and it looks real good. I'd say consider other options unless you can get a super deal on them. They work on a few cars, but not most. Plus, they're steel, so they're really heavy and will eventually rust on a snow bound car.

Did you consider buying the new style Cragar SS's? They come in 16, 17 & probably 18" sizes, are fully polished aluminum and are way more modern looking. I've seen em on 4th gen's and they look good. Just a thought.

I still think a pic of this would answer every bodys question.They seem like a nice rim and they have been on all kinds of classic cars and trucks. I remember seeing a silver Camaro IROC-Z that looked sweet.

I bought my 88 IROC with 15" Cragar SS lookalikes on it. They are chromed and shine like hell. I always thought the car looked redneckish with 'em but so far all I've gotten is compliments. I think they look like @$$. I'm holding out for 99 Camaro SS rims. Now those would be sweet. I'll post the picture if somebody tells me how to do it.
