I've got 15x7 Cragars on, not sure of the spacer, I'll have to measure... No problems with them here, love the look!

These are Genuine Cragars, 18x8 with no spacers etc....



For more info see the "My 76 with 18" thread.

Weld Racing Wheels makes them, they bought out Cragar and holds the licenses, they license out the chromed wheels and they make the billet stuff.

Mine are Billet, they have all the Cragar markings.

Two piece, the rear half and the spokes are one and the front half is fitted to the spokes.

They were totally balanced, the tires did not take over 1.5 oz to balance.

We did dynamic balance with the wheel weights inside the spokes and then inside edge of the wheel

Anyone out there running American Racing's Torq-Thrust D wheels on an early Shark? We're thinking about installing T-T D's and repro Firestone redline tires (radials, not bias-ply!) on our red '71 convertible. I saw this same setup on a '68 at a car show a while back, but I could never find the owner to ask him. Please share your experiences if you've tried these wheels.
