Crager S/S pics

Finally got the pictures, hope they can be seen by all. The window sticker calls this tire/wheel combination a "Charger" option for $1499! Dodge of Burnsville has 20 Magnums on the lot, and 4 of them are RT's. Minnesota just is not catching on to a great looking car! My wife will be getting a Midnight Blue RT in the near future. (I will borrow it often I hope)
Could the new prop rod cure the windshield "pop" I hear so much about?
Thoughts?

ehhh... i'm not liking those at all...

and they put an even skinnier tire on a car that begs for meatier rubber...? [:'(]

I think it looks a lot better than the 20+ rims that people are putting on. Looks good IMO, although I think polished aluminum A/R type would look better. Not worth anywhere near the $1500 pricetag.

Oh, and that is the factory tire on that car. 215/65/17, standard on SE and SXT.

Those are the 61-series (i.e. the true Cragar S/S) done in steel/alloy...whose max size is 17"

Cragar also makes a 610-series available in 18+ that is all alloy and reminiscent of the S/S but ... different. The spokes are more to the front. Wanna see those The Cragar 18x9 seems a perfect wheel (to me at least) if its got the right offset to fit a 255 under the fenders

Thanks for posting those pics, Hipster. I can envision those in the larger wheel size on my car: 20" front and rear, with taller tires in the back to give it a slight rake- too cool- gotta have 'em! Old school, YEAH![sm=icon_rock.gif]

Flash back big time when I saw these!
My brother had a '67 Charger with Keystone Classics out back, Crager S/S 's in front, with air shocks in back and lots of lift!

I like them. This is probably the only wheel I would consider for my black beauty. I also do not like the 20" spinner laden wheels, but to each his own.

I think I would like them in 19" or 20" with a lighter gunmetal finish with a polished lip.

My stock RT 18 inchers will do just fine for me.................................

I like the rims. Can you put 17" on an R/T? It doesn't look like there is much room in the front for brake clearance. I would like smaller wheels and more tire. I am kind of old school too.
