For my part, when i start in the mopar hobby, i hated these wheel but with a little 6 years in the hobby i change my mind about the wheel....

i think these wheel are a good recall of how my muscle car and all muscle car in the 70's look like. I think it is beautifull on a full restored card with 70 vintage clean parts.. for make a tribute to what these car was builded...

Not to mention that if they were good enough for Dick Landy then they should be good enough.  ;)

The Cragar SS are the only wheels I might consider tradding stock 500s are Rallye wheels and I prefer them to steelies.  Back when i was in high school you could get a nice set of SS Craigers for about $20 in any scrap yard.  I was going to get a new set for my Wannabee it was ove $1200 for a set :brickwall:

Love them - but would love them a lot more if they were not uni-lugs.

That has become their single downfall in the modern era imo.  Too bad Cragar couldn't afford to do them right.
We could always watch for vintage NOS ones.

I like the cragers. I have a set of the original american racing 200S wheels in 15x8 for my 70. Love those on a 2nd generation.

I might switch to those myself one day, always liked them. Back in the '70s almost everybody had them or wished they did.
My 1969 Charger. RIP......Rest in pieces.

don't like them and never did. I bought a 70 Cougar once with 2 on it. First upgrade I did was take them off and put steel wheels on until I found a set of Fords version of the magnum 500.

Yep, Love them!!  :drool5:

One of the best rims they ever made in my opinion. I have them on my Mopar and on my Cheby. I think you can take a Fiat and make it look halfway cool with a set of Cragar S/S wheels.

How could anybody hate Cragers? Maybe on opposite day but thats it.

I had always thought that they look better on certain cars, but overall they are decent. I actually got tired of seeing them back in the 70's & swore I'd never own a set, but I'd consider them as an option now.

My all time, favorite car with SS Cragars on it is a '55 Chebby.

Also, for some reason they look good on a trike, too.

I was never a fan until I picked up my Dart with them. Now I'm not sure what else would look good on the Dart instead of Cragars.
