Some of my old wheels
What can you tell me about these wheels? I haven't seen any like the aluminum slots. They are 15X8.5. Are the Cragars the good ones? They are 15X4. I guess the other one is a Chevelle or Camaro SS wheel, correct?

Personally not a fan of those Cragar 15x4's ..... that fat outer lip...next to the rim...
The new 15x4.5's look better and are more accurate to the earlier 15x4's even though rim is 1/2 wider and spoke sot as curved. |

So this isn't the early design?

Your 15x4's are the second design. The first-early design 15x4's are hard to come by. IMO yours are 10 times better than the present flat spoke things.

I have two sets of Cragar ss 15 X 4 direct bolt 5- 4 3/4 One set made in 1967 the other some time in the 80's they are exactly the same? What do the original 15 x 4 wheels look like? Mine have a wider lip than what is on the market today. Do you have pictures off the different 15 X 4 wheels? I used a dial caliper to check dimensions 1967 to 80's

Anybody know anything about the aluminum slots? I can't find any information on Universal Wheel. These wheels have 6 slots instead of the normal 5.

They look like copies of Dragmaster wheels.

Can you pull the trim ring off your SS wheel and tell us/show us what the date and 2 letter code is around your air valve? |

If no code, It's not Chevrolet...Joe
