And we all know what these look like.

Bought some 69 delux for it but kinda want some shine lol

Thanks Jake

 

Either one will look good. I'm thinking about supremes myself.
Did you swap out your bolt patterns yet?

 

The front has a mm2 so it's 5 on 4.5 I was gona use adapters on the back till I get the disc on it.

Rite now the front has adapters to fit the 5 on .5.5 delux wheels.

Jake

 

I always like those. Affordable to.

 

I am partial to supremes myself, guess it just depends on what look you are goin for on the build, good luck man

 

Personally, I don't like those Cragars. They kinda look like an early magnesium wheel, but not quite. Not enough to pass for "traditional". And definitely not with skinny whitewalls.

The whitewalls and Supremes will go together a lot better, assuming this truck is going to be a 60's or 70's styled custom or a lowrider.

 

I'd say the supremes with skinny whites.

 

That is where my problem is I don't want it to look to much like a low rider lol

The cragars are 160 each and supremes are 150 each.

Nothing wrong with a custom look though.but really like the spinners ha

 

Supremes with pinner whites

 

ditto

 

What does a pinner white wall look like

 

You gotta run real Cragar SS wheels if you are going to run those not what you picked. OR supremes with Pinner whites. The other Cragars just don't cut it.

 

Pinner white wall = Skinny white wall

 

Ok so a lot of makers of supremes .

What brand us wheel or Vintiques ?

What offset / back space 3.5 or reverse

How wide 7 I assume

Thanks Jake

 

Lol I see

 

Not sure what size will fit on your truck, I've run a 14x6 standard on my Comet and my Impala.
A reversed might fit your wheel well and look goood.

Anyway, I get my supremes from Coys. They carry AWC's which are strong because of the gusseting on the spokes. Not sure if you can get a reversed through them though. $120 ea.

I just bought a set off TTO's for my 62 Unibody. Man was it hard to decide which way to go.

I think the Supremes will look great on your truck, especially with the thin white walls. I was gonna go that way but decided to go of a more hot truck vs custom truck look.
Make sure you show pics of your progress.

 

15x7 supremes with 205/75/15 skinny whites....


Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad

 

My tires are 205 70 15

 

I have a build thread on here i hope to make some more progress soon I have most all the parts just need some time to get some work done lol.

Jake

 

Think if I run a supreme it will look better with as much dish as I can get.

Thanks for the link says 110 for a 15x7

Jake

 

From the pic can anyone tell if its rev or a standard offset?

 

Reveresed Cragar S/S or Supremes those Cragar wheels you posted look like shit. Just my 2 cents

 

"Traditionally"
Supremes are barely one step above no wheels …. They are what you got if you couldn’t afford Crager SS’s ... then a bit later TruSpokes.

People run them now like its cool ….. well it may be to some .. but back then it wasn’t

 

Supremes were the ultimate wheel for customs in Southern California since the mid-sixties. Still are. Cragars were found on the more performance-oriented vehicles. At least that's what I personally remember. Your mileage may vary.

 

Cragar SS. Not Crager....maybe I am a dick, but how stupid can someone be who is into cars and cannot spell Cragar properly?

 

Well when I grew up ss cragars belonged on a 78 firebird.lol
