Yup! I'm working on a complete makeover. As best I can with whats available, I'm trying to make how the S550 would look if sold in 1973, complete with a whole lot of chrome, era relevant colors and 2-tone seats. Would like to get some raised white letter rubber, but it just ain't available. I may skip the shag carpet too, though!Retro Cragars!!
I see that Cragar finally made a second subline for the SS that goes up to 17x9.
I had Cragar Keystone Classics on my 70 Mach 1....back in the mid to late 70's. They really looked sharp on that car! This was so long ago, we called them rims instead of wheels...as in "Yeah...I'm gonna put a set of Cragar rims on it next week!" LOLRetro Cragars!!
Retro Cragars!!
Back in the '70's there wasn't the wide selection we have available today. Cragars were widely available and reasonably priced. So it was mostly stock or Cragars. Pretty much the foundation of what all 5-spoke designs were built on.
What came first American Mag or Cragars, I think American Mag was the org 5 spoke
I think Americans came first, but they were more expensive and a lot harder to find.
I think American mag as they were magnesium. Alloy came later.
"Until the 1960’s, wheels on street rodders were improvised by customizing caps and trim rings from the original equipment to give a more custom and edgy look.
