First thing I bought for my Cuda was a set of Cragars. Only mistake was buying the uni-lugs that were on sale. Uni-lug can be a royal pain in the butt to mount because it doesn't center itself.

I hate the unilug , it is a pain to mount .

i have often seen the chrome peel as well

I thought unilug wheels used rear inserts

Chryco Psycho

no they use an oval washer in front & they always get out of position as you try to tighten them up , they look cool but far from my favorite wheels design

Had unilug Cragers back in 75 on my challenger and those washers were a pain but the 5 spoke look is still my favorite. I would love for someone to produce wheels like these on the  model car I have, check out the pentastar center.

I like the old school look of 15" Cragar SS chrome steel wheels but here in the rustbelt they will start to rust even when sitting in the garage. :thumbdown:

The chromed aluminum ones are an option but are not cheap.

I love the cragar rims, as a kid, I knew when I got a hotrod, that was my choice!  I have a pair of deep dish cragars in the garage in really good shape that I would part with!  PM if interested! 
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!

I have had the same experience with them, like the look not the quality.  :alan2cents:

I agree: They look good when you take them out of the box.

The originals were and still are the nicest-coolest mags ever made. Keystone Klassics are a close second.
