 I was always partial to craiger ss myself. These came with the car and will do for now.

personally, i like your cragars best of all- i love that classic 70's wheel style! looks more corvette than the factory aluminum slotted rims!

That's probably 'cause there's not very many 'original' SS rims still around! They did have a tendency to rust & corrode if not taken care of.(they were popular in the '60s-70s!! that's 30-40 yrs ago!) Cragar does make a new "SS". but it's not exactly the same as the older style. The spokes on the "new" SS rims are a little squarer.
