wheels.....Cragar SS or Torq Thrust II ????

Ouch! I've always liked the Cragar SS's.

Based on the popular opinion that SS's are Crap...Must be a whole generation of racers that just didn't get "It". Between Cragars, Fentons in the 60 - 70's you pretty much had the top brands of 5 spoke wheel types locked up. Everyone copied them from Appliance to U.S, and American. Too bad they are no good. On the other hand The TT's did take a page from the best.

I do have to admit, they will rust and flake in a hurry if you don't take care of them.

Both are good designs. The Classic Cragar SS, the new SS is a lot like the Torque Thrust.

Anything is better than aluminum Slotted "mags".
