My friend had one 15 X 4 develop a leak around a rivet of one of the rims. The speed shop was nice enough to replaced the wheel, and never had a problem after.
The wheels have lasted from the early 1980's to 2015 and may be going back on his car after the frame off is completed.
We are trying to find out if they fit the day two mould as well as the early drag car mould?
We have been searching the internet for information but have not been able to get a release date.
I totally agree handle with care. We did not flat tow with these rims and street miles were always with eye open for pot holes.
The car was set up for the strip so carving corners was never a concern as in rim side loading.
Thanks again for all reply's

If you're talking about Cragar Super Trick's, they fit the day 2 theme pretty well. They came out i'd say late 70 or 71. As stated by another member, there was a street version (SST) and they were not that good looking (in my opinon)/popular compared to the very popular S/S wheels. Gold Super Tricks are really cool, would love to have a set for my Chevelle.

Centerline Auto drag's are what I call day 3, they came out mid 70s and became popular late 70s, they are more 80s style than 70s.

From my perspective, I would agree that the CL s are not a day II look. Late 70s ushered in gold Morosos, centerlines, tubbing and braided lines. None of which i would characterize as day II .

Well said I see them as a very late 70's early 80's wheel also. Scott Sullivan Nova which won 79 Street machine Nats top award and Hot Rods car of the year was wearing Cragar Super Tricks.

I was asking about the Centerline wheels.
We started building and racing in the day 3 era.
I had a memory nudge from my brother. The car was flat towed with Centerline wheels. We did have a rivet failure on one of the 15 X 4 rims early on that was replaced by the speed shop.
The rear center line wheels were not raced on because we did not want to drill them for screws so we ran steel rims out back.
So they held up from the early 80's to today seeing tack and street duty.
I would still drive with care as with any dual purpose wheel.
