<VV> New Cragar SS wheels - and old ones!

[Dave Keillor]

Yep, I remember -- in fact I have a set of 5.  I was thinking of having
them re-chromed, but decided against it given the limited availability
of 13" tires and the cost of re-chroming.

Does anybody here remember that Cragar made a special S/S wheel just for
the late model Corvair. It used a slightly scaled down 5-bolt center and
a  
chromed, 5.5" wide steel outer. Snazzy looking wheel! I actually ended
up  with a set. I widened the outers on the rear pair to 7" wide. Even
snazzier! But eventually it got hard to find tires for them. I ran a
Pirelli CN36s in the size 235-60-13 for a while. Nice tire but hard to
balance! - Oh well, back to the present. I, too would like to see a
picture of the 15 x 6 wheels on the late model! - Seth Emerson
