Personally I really like cragers and i would want to put them on my 3rd gen....a lot of people tell me that would look lame cuz i dont have a vintage or classic car blah blah blah.....what do u guys think, and does anyone have some on their car, if so id like to see some pics

Wootah

im definatly getting 17x8 or 17x9.5 AR TT2's.. they look so sharp.. there similiar tto the cragers, my opinion, get a large rim.. i know they just remade em in a bigger size, 17 i think.. might wanna check jegs, i saw it there.

BikertrashDude

Actually I have seen a 3rd gen with 17X7 and 17X8 or 9 Cragar SS's. They looked great IMO. I think these cars are getting close enuf to being a classic.... Who cares??

I know if I had the money I would get a set. Then again I'd have a set of Draglites too

I want some Crager SS's also and as soon as I find a deal on some I am gonna do it. i will not worry about other's opinion because if I think it looks good I am gonna leave them on. If I don't I 'll sell them. If you want some just go for it.

I have a set ....... 15 x 8 .....I would part with them for $300.


let me know if you are interested

I like the new 17" Cragar SS. They're cool.

I think it's OK to use them. It seems to be OK for someone to put ZR1 wheels on a '68 Camaro, so why not the other way around?

I'd say go for it, my brother had some 15's on his '78 T/A and it was pretty sweet, but I'd got with atleast 16's on a thirdgen, probably 17's would look the best.

Ive got 14's on my bird, heres a pic:

Here's one I snagged off this site about a year ago. I think this Camaro looks very tough--just like a Camaro ought to

Sitting Bull

Another view.

PS robertg, your Sport Coupe looks very sharp to me

IROC57TPI

Hey Sitting Bull,just for the record those aren't Cragars, but a good look-alike made by Appliance Wheels. They were popular in the 80's... The giveaway is the center caps and the spacing between the spokes. Car looks sweet though..

Thats all I ever hear about. Why doesn't anyone like the American Racing 200s. I think these look best on a thirdgen. I would have put them on my ride if my Freakin' tuition didn't increase 15%.

try chopping that 200 series on my car, see what you can do

devianb

I don't normally like sport coupes nor 15" wheels, but I do like yours. Looks real mean. Is it just me, or is a side exhaust you have.

CamaroDriver

Those are the one's I'm probably gonna get

Me likey very muchy.

Here is a photo of my car with 17" Crager SS's, the car is being painted 17X8 front and 17X9 rear;

CamaroDriver

Thanks for the pic. Now I know I don't want them. They don't look bad, they're just not what I'm wanting.

IMO, they look too flush. The center cap looks like it sits out as far as the bead of the rim. No good. Cragar S/S's have to have the deep dish look in the rear otherwise they look like you have front wheels on the back.

Try not to take it the wrong way. I just thought they'd be deeper than that (more reverse offset). Maybe I'm too old school and like the 10" look in the back.

I like the car SittingBull showed. That's the way S/S's are supposed to look in the rear, IMO.

Sitting Bull

You are obviously a gentleman and a scholar, and a fine judge of the way Camaros should look, too

devianb

This is the only wheel design I can honestly say that I think the 15's look much better than the 17's.

IROC57TPI

15's better than 17's

I think that bump on your head is starting to affect your judgment

chitowncruiser

Hey guys heres a pic of the 1992 RS Camaro I had last year with Crager Mags on it before i hit a patch of black ice and totaled it out.......Camros do look nice with em on...

IROC57TPI

OK DevianB look at this pic and tell me how 15's look better than 17's

Not that the 15's don't look good, but the 17's are WAAAY better IMO.

sbrice18fan

Here is a better photo of my back wheel 17X9 with a 275/40/17 tire:

IROC57TPI

sbrice18fan, the painted drums don't look right IMO. I know I tend to be very opinionated at times, but ask anyone else...painted drums just kinda suck

Paint 'em black. It would make a world of difference IMO.

sbrice18fan

Actually they are powdercoated, I like them and that is all that really matters. However, I do appreciate your opinion. That photo makes the drums really show up, but most people don't even notice them when looking at my car, until I show them.

speed88

IMHO TT 2's are a much nicer rimthan the crager's. My personal opinion is that the crager's are the ugliest rim ever made!

IROC57TPI

Thats cool... are you planning a rear disc upgrade? Powder coated calipers the same color as the car would be sweet.

Is your car done being painted? It looks like the same color as mine in that last pic.

sbrice18fan

rear disk brakes would be nice, but that will have to be a project down the road. The front calipars are powdercoated also.

As for the car, it is not done yet, it is taking more time than I thought it would. The goal is to lay paint the first week of December, I'll post photos when the car is complete.

scrawnywhiteguy

Hmm...I'm undecided on this one. I've always liked the s/s rims, but I'm not quite sure about 'em on a thirdgen. They don't look bad by any means, but theres something about 'em that makes 'em look out of place on a thirdgen. However, they might look really sweet on a black car.

I love my Cragar's, but they are only 15". Gotta go for the 17" ZR1's

bradkeith

Devian, i am running the older style AR 200s's on my 88 formula. They are grey center with polished lip. They look really good, probably better than the chrome

I don't like most of the aftermarket wheels over our factory wheels. But I like those Cragers.

How could someone NOT like these???? These are what I'm getting...and I'm stickin to it........Amercan Racing Torq Thrust II's.......17X9.5 rear.....17X8 in the front....that's what I'm getting

C-Dawg

wow i made this thread a while ago, when i made it I had a red RS with stock wheels, when i bought the black one it came with 15 inch Cragar SS rims so that saved me the trouble of buying them ....if ya look at my sig at the very top of the thread thats the car with the cragars

westman

here's mine

irocbirdbuilder

the bigger they are the better they look but they have to be clean theres a bird running around here with some filthy rusy ones and they look like crap
