Finally  got my new Cragar SS wheels on my 65 Monza convertible.  Ordered 
them  from Summit racing in April just got them last Thursday.  They have a few  
bugs in their order system and I found them all.  Price was $122 each,  $9.50 
ship for all four.



Does anybody here remember that Cragar made a special S/S wheel just for  the 
late model Corvair. It used a slightly scaled down 5-bolt center and a  
chromed, 5.5" wide steel outer. Snazzy looking wheel! I actually ended up  with a 
set. I widened the outers on the rear pair to 7" wide. Even snazzier! But  
eventually it got hard to find tires for them. I ran a Pirelli CN36s in the size  
235-60-13 for a while. Nice tire but hard to balance! - Oh well, back to the  
present. I, too would like to see a picture of the 15 x 6 wheels on the late  
model! - Seth Emerson
