Cragar S/S wheels
I was looking into some Cragar wheels for my 2013 Camaro SS. I really like the old muscle car look to them and was wanting to try out the SERIES 61C - S/S SUPER SPORT DIRECT DRILL in 17" with thicker tires, even though it's not listed as compatible on Cragar's website.
Has anyone tried anything like this and can provide some feedback? It would be greatly appreciated. |

Well I think it's the best wheel you can get. A classic retro muscle car look. It's cool Crager finally came out with a larger version.
I had Crager styled Ford painted ones on my 08 Mustang. They're a snap to clean. I found a price of 270.00 on Cragar's site that took me to JEGS. |

Won't fit over factory brembo's. I think there's a couple 18's that might fit, but even then your cutting the rollerskate.

Cragars were my favorites, I had them on my 69 Camaro and 72 El Camino. No look compares to us old guys.

Stay with a 20" wheel. A 17" won't clear the brakes.

Same as everyone else. Brakes won't clear, plus, to be brutally honest, 17" Cragars don't look right on a modern Camaro. On a '69, yes, but on a big bodied 5th gen, just looks wrong. If you like the look, go with 20's.

American Racing has a nice selection of Hot Rod wheels.
I just put Torque Thrusts on. These are available in chrome as well.

Hmm, I like big rubber on a truck. I think I've grown used to big rim on a car. Especially our Camaro.
