Crager SS wheels
Can someone educate me about the Crager SS wheels. My friend has some on his el camino and I cant tell if they are the old ones or the new style ones. How can you tell?

Re: Crager SS wheels
Those are the old style. The spokes have round look (that's what I call it) the Jegs- Summit wheels sold today the spoke has a flatter look to it.

Re: Crager SS wheels
The cap is somewhat newer as it has the "R" for registered and the older ones didn't. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct on the "R" as the newer style. The lug holes are straight and the newer style are "Uni-lug" I'm sure there is more but they look good.

Re: Crager SS wheels
I believe the aluminum lug area is correct for the vintage Cragars. Early ones that I have seen had the painted center section aluminum color.
