Eventually I will get something that stays on it unless I sell the car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif I might try a set of ET wheels next.

Re: Rocket mags from '70's
 

I don't have any wheels but do have a few decals and a couple of Rocket timing tapes, a distributor hold down and power steering cap from Rocket. I found a couple of these in an old speed shop in Poplar Bluff recently. They had a couple pounds of dust on them...

Did the Rocket wheels have a Chromed Cast center like Cragars or were they stamped steel? I recall SOME wheel that had the same look as a Cragar, but was all steel. Maybe Appliance? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Dennis:
The 5 spoke Rockets were the same construction as Cragar SS: Cast chrome center, chromed steel rim.

And I thought I was the only one that liked 'em! Got to dig up that '70's photo of my '69 Chevelle with the Rockets and L60s to post........

Well, I found a company in Australia called Rocket Industries http://www.rocketind.com/ that has the exact logo as the wheels of old. Emailed them but they didn't answer my main question of "is there a connection?". They did say they didn't have Rocket Racing Wheels (no big surprise there).
