i bought real cragers...15x8, with 255/60/15 bfg radial t/a's. what do you guys think....i really like them. i just need to fix that they rub when i turn. and also whats the best wheel polish for them???

 

I likem! SHINY 8-) lol
Im guessing they are polished? I like the Mequiars aluminum polish....

 

sweet wheels and nice backspacing on em...like maguiars too

 

yeah they add attention away from my four shades of black on my car. they are clean, but i like my wheels clean...at my job(cj tires) i clean dirty wheels of customers cars. hahaah its a pet peeve of mine. lol


and thats 255 all the way around haa.....and only $400 for all four wheels and tires

 

nice wheels i love the classic cragers.

 

thanks dan

 

SWEEET!!!

 

hey rick..wheres hermitage, pa. im near reading pa....



haha nvm..ur on the other side of the state. hahaha just googled it.

 

Bling, bling!!! Those are awesome! Very muscle-car-ish! Looks great!

 

Awsome, maybe a smaller tire would work for the front.235's

 

yeah i had 235/55/16 for the stock size all the way around. it rubbed a little, but i need some money to go buy two new radial t/a's..not sure if that size is on backorder or discontinued....i do/did work at a tire store.

 

what do u guys think...no polish yet. sorry the pictures are so big.

 

Wheels look awesome

Love them! really nice and clean looking!
I am looking for rims myself, just not sure what to buy yet.
How did you get such a good deal? That what Iam looking for, a good deal!

 

That is exactly the kind of look I want to achieve with my Iroc. What's the backspacing on them?

Looking great though!

 

dont know the backspacing hahah,

but heres the "good deal" story

i work at a cj tires in west lawn, pa. one day a 81 corvette came in to get his new wheels put on that he bought offline from cali. so i sized up the rear rim and tire on first. since it needed a bigger spacer, those year vettes have a e-brake cable right enar the wheel. the people sent him the wrong lug nuts....a couple days later he came back when it wasnt raining. i put on all four wheels for him and it looked great. those cragers came off of it, and he said if i knew anyone that wants to buy them to let him know. so i said i will, and pointed at my cmaro sitting in the back. he said he will sell them to me for $400, and if i dint buy them he'd sell them online for about $500...due to shipping. so i bought them a week later. had to but diff lugs for the different thread pitch, but i have a crappy wheel lock on from advanced auto.

i cant wait to go to a car show to see if anyone will love the wheels, cause thats the only shiney thing on my car


thanks for the compliment guys..makes me feel alot better about buying them.

 

its a very sexy vette, great lopey idle......

 

i have these wheels....american racing outlaw II's 15x7 1/2. all four are from a g-body monte carlo. got them off craigslist and never got to put tires on them...then i found the cragers for a good price. i have cleaned them up, bead and the rim are alot healthier then this pic.


give me an offer

 

Damn, was hoping to find out backspacing. No matter...beautiful wheels nonetheless, I'll probably just end up going the Weld Prostars route.

 

what is backspacing...how can i find that out???

 

its the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the back of the inner lip of the wheel.

so if you put a straight edge across the back of the wheel (not the tire, the wheel) and measure back to the mounting surface, thats the BS.

 

ok ill have to do so tomorrow.

 

its how far the wheel goes in:
