Cragars to be made

[ZigZag]

I know it will only interest a handful of people but in speaking with someone from Cragar I was told that they were going to have available the Cragar 610 SS wheels to fit our GTO's.

They are the throw back to the 60's and 70's GTO wheels of that time. They unfortunately won't be ready until june or july. At least that gives anyone time to save up.

It won't be popular with the younger crowd but for guys like myself it's perfect. Just wanted to give a heads up to whoever is interested.

[IROSSGTO]

I was actually looking at those a while ago. Any idea on pricing?

[ZigZag]

I didn't ask figuring that since they aren't ready yet that he wouldn't have any numbers.

[rlchv70]

Actually, those wouldn't be too bad.

photochop anyone?

I was wondering how well that Flux Capacitor works, I've been wanting one of them. :gr_jest:

Not bad at all. BTW, I had heard earlier that a wheel tire combo with Dunlops would be around $1,800. This was about 1 1/2 months ago.

lol why not??? I'd buy em if I didn't already have wheels...:thumbs:

Thanks, I stand corrected. There kinda old school and with all the new stuff out today I didn't think they would be excepted.

[nutiger]

Now they start making them! GTO out for 3 yrs and finally they decide to produce our offsets and BP! Can't win! :banghead:

[jdo6696]

i would have to see em on a car first, but they have potential, especially if the offsets would enable 275's+ on the rears.

[kctowboy]

Theres the wheel of my choice... I will be game for these puppies....

[ZigZag]

This is more interest than I expected but I'm glad to see it. I think they will look good on any color GTO. Maybe alittle more for a darker car I think.

[Patof714]

I'd have to see them on a car. I think the AR Torq Thrust wheels would look better.

[yellow.nc]

When these come out, I am so getting them!

It's great if Cragar goes through with this but, yeah, Torq Thrusts would be teh tits.

Call them again and tell them to start up the afterburners. I'm in. Sooner the better. I'll wait but sooner dabetta.
Things are looking up if they come out with e SS Cragar's again.

[in_burrito]

I'll take a set in black.

[TrixR4Kids]

I would buy them. I have had many sets on old school rides. Chrome never lasts though.

I'll try to get thru to them and voice our need for speed. Don't think it will change delivery but what the heck. Man, I wish my last name was Cragar. :gr_jest:

not really sure...i have no way of generating 1.21 gigowatts to find out!!!

Okay thanks anyway. Guess I'll hold on to my deposit money for the Cragars instead. :burnout:

[wrp]

The 17x9 and 18x9 looks interesting. Wonder what the offsets will be?
Here was my first set.

[nikivee]

Cragars are cool. I'd buy them for my 04 GTO. I have a set on my 72.

Nice cars wrp and nikivee. I had them on my 68 GTO and they looked so good. Had the deep dish on the back and there was not a bit of rubbing. :gr_jest: I did have Gabriel highrisers in back.

[GOATHEAD55]

I have always liked the Cragars.. they would look good on the Goat..
I have some ordered for the 67 Chevelle project in the works...

I take it for granted they'll be making deep dish for our gto's as well?

Devil , I didn't ask but I will soon as I get a chance. Just got home from work.

What about a bolt of lightening??

[TurboRegal]

These are the exact wheels I want for my car- was wondering if anyone ended up with a set on their GTO and have any pics? Thanks

[purplenurple]

lol no
It was just another GTO pipe dream

[TurboRegal]

I figured as much. Thats a real shame- those wheels would have looked great on a new goat.

[Devil]

Saw this thread pop up and thought Cragar came out with the SS wheels:(

[BUCKNERBUCK2]

Shoot, I would be interested in those as well....oh well :(

[Pheonix311]

hell yeah, i just need a price so i know what im saving up to. ive got a pair of them on my 66 GTO.....wish i had pics

Well your last name better make them an offer they won't refuse, LOL

Okay Zig, hope you got home from work safely. Any word from Cragar's????

[Mikey340]

Link no worky for me.
I loved Cragars on old school cars.
Wonder what sizes they'll offer and price?
Mike

[GOT1GOAT]

Ahh, Finally some Crager mag wheels in the works for us. I've serched for them since I got my car. I was quite dissapointed when they replied " Sorry, we don't make them for the gto". Thanks for the revitilization Zig.

[Rob@WretchedMS]

Do the new Cragars come with the "rip the center hub out on launch" feature built in to them, or has that been fixed?

[ZigZag]

Let me remind you that I started this thread over two years ago and gave up trying back then. It ain't happening in our lifetime, although I should check back with them just in case.

[Night]

I was lookin through one of my Jeg's catalogues last night and found S/S's in chrome from 15-18". I wonder if they would fit ours?

[Sooners]

Zig Zag. check it out, what the hell....I want some.....

The lug pattern and offset of all the Cragar's are not even close for our cars.

[oldfart]

They are exactly what I want. Thanks and please keep us posted.

[deadfoot]

I tried to buy them, the local Discount Tire has a guy from the wheel industry and he thought he could get them. We placed the order at a high price and Cragar accepted it but after a month word came back that the 610 wheels could not be safely machined for the GTO offset.

Could be BS from the salesman but I think it is true, they took the order then backed out for technical reasons.

You can all forget about it. They are not going to do anything for a car that only had less than forty thousand made. Maybe if they had made 200,000 of our cars things might be different.

[tripower]

I know these new style Cragars fit on a new Mustang....Saw one in my complex.

ZigZag, thatnks for your efforts and don't feel bad. I e-mailed American Racing a while back and asked why they make 17x9 TT2s but not 18x9 TTs and they said $100K for tooling and it ain't going to happen. Oh well, you tried...

[GOT1GOAT]

I got all excited over nothing but that was my own fault for not looking at your original post date.
I even prepared the wife for "At a higher price because they will be limited production".

Thanks Zig for all your efforts in this. Is there any way to fudge the records showing 200K gto's made? LOL

What wheel out there, resembles the SS Cragar and is chrome? Have any idea?

But the offset and lug pattern isn't correct.
