Wheels
It's time for new wheels on my Mustang. I would like a retro look, but not sure I can go as far back as Cragar S/S - I like the American Racing Torq Trust Pro - but Geeeeeze are they expensive!
 Also - do bead locks present a rear caliper clearance problem? - I use a Lincon rear brake setup on this car.  Thoughts? |

Re: Wheels
check the web sites of Hole Shot Wheels and Bogart Racing Wheels. You might find just the wheel.

Re: Wheels
Aren't the Cragar SS wheels relatively heavy?

Re: Wheels
Yes they are, although it's been 25 years since I've even lifted a set.

Re: Wheels
Not trying to hijack your thread but with you guys talking about weight. What are the lightest wheels out there?

Re: Wheels
I've seen wheels that were awfully light, they were actually CNC-profiled on the back side, but also wound up breaking on a friend's car when he turned onto the return road. If you've got a car with a light front end, a real light wheel would probably be OK. I've looked, there are quite a few relatively light wheels out there including Weld Aluma-Star & Magnum, Billet Specialties Comp Series, Bogart, Holeshot, Sander (builder of American Racing drag wheels), etc.
