Cragars

18x9.5 5x5/135 6

Will this fit a Lightning?

These are Cragar Drag StarFXs.
They show on the Cragar website but so far I haven't located anyone that sells 'em.

Hi Wendy-how r ya

Yea, but I like "old school wheels". When you saw them you knew what they were. I can't tell one wheel from another nowadays. I like the Traditional 5 spoke like American 2000s, Torque Thrust, Cragar SS, and I like Weld Racing wheels and the Cragar Drag Stars, Even like the old spun aluminum Centerlines and Cragar Super Tricks. Just need 'em in the right size and hopefully not 1K a piece.

I've been fine...just busy.

Good luck in your quest for the perfect old school wheel. The torqe thrusts look good on our trucks. I remember seeing them on a picture posted here. Remember the A's? I don't know if thats what they are called or who made them but they had that A on the center caps .

Interesting.

I like the old school look too. I'd sure be curious to see how they'd look on the lightning. Maybe someone can do a photoshop edit to show a picture of how they'd look.
I just wish they weren't so DA#N expensive.

Speaking of old school, how about some steel wheels with dog dishes. LOL.

BUT

Cragar lists them on their site in 18 inch and I think it's our bolt circle size. I can't find anyone that sells them.

Drag Stars, SS's, and Super Tricks. Do the Welds come in 18 inch?
