    Great History Of CRAGAR Company. As a teenager in the 70's, These were the rims to have on your muscle car. My friend had 69 Pontiac Firebird 350, 4 Barrel Holly, 4 Speed Munic Trans. Would Burn Tires In Every Gear With Those CRAGAR Rims. Going to put CRAGAR, White Wagon Rims on my White Jeep TJ to give it that Retro Look. You did a fantastic story on founder and others will purchase company. Glad they kept the original name of company.
    Keep On Wheeling, Mr. T.

    Cragar was the first set of wheels I had on my 82 Chevy Malibu. That first hand me down car from my mom. I picked those up at Jegs in Columbus OH. Loved that first car.

      It’s a love it or hate it look but I dig it ...a buddy had a 72 skylark like that , but with keystone classics.
      Light metallic green like pea soup and a tan vinyl roof.
      Clean looking but the 2 barrel 350 was a pig, it needed help.
      I saw this a few weeks ago, I thought everyone forgot about the reverse light thing.....for the kids , we used to ride around with the reverse lights on and that meant we want to race.
      Now the kids put a little stuffed animal in the back.

Ram 1500 and decided to put a set of Ss on it … unfortunately you don’t sell them any longer .. but I did find one that was very close but had hard time with lug pattern… low and behold BBwheels came out with one and I’m getting ready to buy a set .. can’t wait to ride with pride like the old days again … thank you cragar for being a part of my memories then and now !!!!

    in my humble opinion, nothing looks cooler on an old school muscle car (think circa 1960's & 70's) than a set of chrome plated cragars s/s wheels wrapped in a "big & little" (for example; 50's on the rear & 70's on the front) set of white letter bfgoodrich tires! ...i love all different cars of all different generations, but the muscle cars of the late 60's & early 70's will always be my favorites... even if they did handle like drunken school buses on drum brakes & bias ply tires... always enjoy ur videos guys, thanx!

Have the ranchhand front and rear replacement with the full grill guard and have it modified for a winch. Im already running a headache rack with 4 J.W. Speaker LED 3x5 oval lights. and 2 more on the front grill guard on the truck at this time.

    I have always loved the CRAGAR 30 SPOKE RIMS. I probably have bought at least 4 or 5 pairs in my life.
    They are the best spoke rims I’ve ever seen or heard of. I have also had a pair of Dayton wire wheels and they don’t even come close to being as solid as the Cragar 30 spoke rims. Matter of fact I’m going to buy a pair of Cragar 30 spoke rims I found on the internet the other day. They are $2,500 dollars but they are well worth the money.

    Great video mate! I am one of the viewers watching from Australia, the seventh 'divorced' state, Tasmania to be specific.
    I'd have to say my dream car would be a big mofo yank tank. A ridiculous land yacht that you guys would probably see as an every day, run of the mill car. Like a 57 Bel air or a 57 Galaxy or something along those lines. A big fat cruiser 😎

      A BIG OLE YANK TANK I love it brother! Thank you again for the support crazy to hear we have fans so far away! Do you have any kind of car now with wheels or anything!? 👍

      Fitment Industries well here, a yank tank is anything huge and iconically American. I really like a lot of your 70's-90's cars that we just don't see here.
      I do mate, not the kind you'd prefer I'd say. I've an 89 FJ62 Landcruiser with some old 17x10 eagle alloys. Nice wheels for a cruiser 😎
      I've also got a 1976 Mazda Bongo van with some 14" performance Challenger's so I'm all old school cool 👌

    I had Cragers on my first muscle car back in 71. Combine that with Goodyear Polyglass tires.

    I always preferred the keystone classics I had them on my 82 cutlass supreme and my 84 Monte Carlo

      Spun Centerlines were the best wheel, bar none, for high-horsepower cars...whether you were 'cruisin' the boulevard' or racing...NOTHING beat Centerlines!
