Cragar Radirs

[JamesG]

I was at a local wheel place today and they had a poster with the new Cragar Radir wheels. They look great, but can't find anything on line about them?????

Those are made my Cragar? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Unkl Ian]

Crager and Radir are 2 different companies on different ends of the country.
So unless one of them bought the other...

Would you read my first post. I know all of that man. Cragar has a poster of their new wheels and one of them is a Radir replica............GEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[SwitchBlade327]

why we're on the subject of rims, who online sells 60's style rims? like astros and the like....

[JamesG]

Astros (http://custombuiltsteelwheels.com/ws480.htm)

[SwitchBlade327]

thanks for the link, I know I've seen them online for cheaper than that somewhere though.....like $105 a wheel or soemthing....any other places with lookalikes or something?

[Ayers Garage]

Summit now sells astros too.... SUMMIT CLICKY (http://store.summitracing.com/eproduct.asp?N=125+4294923107+4294923106+306879&Pr oductExtendedFlag=On). Nobody undersells Summit by the way. If you find a cheaper price, they beat it, and still have free shipping too.

[SwitchBlade327]

ah yes they are cheaper, I guess the prices i saw before were for 14" wheels....now I just gotta figure out what all the backspacing stuff is about. Never had to buy rims before. SOrry to hijack your post 1low.

[Unkl Ian]

When you find a picture,I'm sure you will share it with us.

[Byron Crump]

Can you scan the poster or something?

[scarylarry]

By the way, they are WHEELS, not rims!

[hatch]

hey oneload....in your first post you called em cragar radirs....then you backup and call em replicas....so lighten up ....your posts are confusing.

[deuce]

hey switchblade, not trying to be a smart ass or anything, but if you look on cragars web site, they have a wheel just like the astro supremes. this may be the wheel 1low thought was a radir replica.

[Tman]

Still dont make 1load a rocket scientist (no offense to our own Rocket Scientist Chris). 1load wondnt rate to polish Chris' pumps! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thank you!

3-4 years ago, Weld was doing Cragar's aluminum line. They came out with the S/S 2000, a two-piece "modernized" version of the old steel S/S (like an Astro) which I have on my pickup. For some reason they stopped production, then they started back up again. As for the status of them, or Cragar's relationship with Weld Racing, I couldn't say.

[Byron Crump]

God knows Im gonna pay for asking this but do they come in 17 inch or bigger (for my daily drive dang it).

[tredboy]

hey 1low, you still wanna sell me those skirts?


wtf....over.



tred.

1load, You haven't actually bought some sort of vehicle to put wheels and tires on have you? Or is this like looking for that elusive transportstion piece? Look at every tire and wheel combination known to man and still not buy anything, just waste Ryan's bandwidth.

[negativeMatt]

not to dredge up a 1low bash, but i have found more info on these wheels.

weld use to make them, now they don't. the wheel group does. after searching since this post came up, i finally am a dealer for these wheels.
they are chromed aluminum. 15x6 15x10 16x8 17x8
if your interested in particulars, just pm for details.

[Hot Rod To Hell]

What style of Radir are they?

[JimA]

hey oneload ....your posts are confusing.

Is this the SKRATCH YOUR NUTS post? I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to add to this post- I just like to hear myself type just like ONELOAD. Yes sir, you are a bandwidth wasting moron.

[monsterflake]

i'd like to see pics of the 15" wheels...

[negativeMatt]

[luckystiff]

there's a guy outta south carolina that runs them on ebay fairly regular for around 800 a set. when i was looking at project trucks i was gonna put a set on a truck but am now doing other things than a truck so no dice. check ebay he was running them a set every few weeks but i forget his seller name...ken....

15x6 15x10 16x8 17x8

I think you mis-typed... they only go as narrow as 15x8. I was looking at a set for myself, but 8" wheels on the front of a car??? I tried finding out if Cragar (actually the Wheel Group making them) were planning on narrower ones, and the answer was no. I don't get it - what sort of car would use 15x8's in the front???

I was in communication with the guy who was selling them on e-bay (DiscountCustomWheels). He told me they were coming out with a 15x7 late last year, but never answered any subsequent e-mails or phone calls. I wouldn't buy wheels from him, he was pretty flaky with responses. Get 'em from kustomcaraudio instead.

I'd like to know if they are available in anything narrower.

Summit now sells astros too.... SUMMIT CLICKY (http://store.summitracing.com/eproduct.asp?N=125+4294923107+4294923106+306879&Pr oductExtendedFlag=On). Nobody undersells Summit by the way. If you find a cheaper price, they beat it, and still have free shipping too.

...yeah, and they are whores that are ruining the aftermarket industry by selling stuff at prices so low that warehouses and speedshops can't make a living. :mad:

Buy from a dealer...pay a little more and sleep well at night... :)

yeah, i mis-typed. 8" is as narrow as they come. sorry for any confusion.
i figure a set on the back, and mabye a gasser et type wheel up front. i just have to find some cheaper than speedway!

[Rand Man]

Jeg's has them. Cragar calls their version Raders.

[Dads56]

That's a pretty good lookin wheel... Wonder why Crager doesn't have it on thier website? The Crager company was bought by conglomerate Carlise in '99. Earlier this year Carlise announced they were selling off thier automotive group companies, which I assume would include Crager. Not sure what's up with Crager. I love the 'ol SS's. I run them on my '56. I catch a lot of greif for running them. You guys raise hell with me 'cause they're shinny. The kahky short boys tell me they're dated and tuners tell I need 'em in 22's.

[Dat Dirty Rat]

Abomber30 just become a dealer for Radir...He quoted a price of $177.00 for a 15x7 4 3/4 rim...If you want the real deal....I will agree that the Cragar is a pretty kool looking rim....You had to figure it would be a matter of time before they stepped up with a knock off since Radirs are pulling big money and that style is making a comeback..
