    Cragar SS wheels??

     



    I have owned them a number of times on a lot of cars over the years. The last set I bought new in the mid 80's. Complete crap w pitting and white powder in the corners inside of three month's + Peeling by the following spring. They had minimal Home to show or drags to home milage.I cleaned w recommended polishes/cleaners,stored inside in unheated garage all winter from Oct to April + never saw snow/salt.
    As I do w ALL of my custom wheels on my cars, coated w wax for the over winter storage + Still got the corrosion!
    I swore I would never own another set. BUT here it is 20+ years later and I am into the nostalgia thing in a big way. So Now I am considering them again.
    My question- Have they gotten any better in quality? Still pit, craze and peel unmercifully? Are the Keystones or Supremes any better? I want a chrome five spoke design. But NOT the AR TT styles (WAY too over done now for my taste, altho I love the look) and I despise any kind of billet alum wheel.
