    I ran Cragars on my '55 Gasser in the '60s. Cragar would give racers free wheels, which were seconds, all you had to do was display a window decal. They are the correct ones for your 150.

    Thanks for all the kind words!!!! The rears I don't have yet. I will go with the 15x8 with the 4.25 backspace. I know you are running rockets,but they look like cragars. Your car heavily influenced my decision!!! Thank you!! How is your interior comin along?

    Are you going to run the chrome reverse in the rear or go with Cragars Frt and rear?We use to run chrome reverse in the rear(cheap)and Cragars in the frt.because the were much more expensive. Man your car really brings back memories when things were simple.Keep us posted.
