Any polished wheel will look crappy and dull if not polished and sealed regularly. For less work go with either a powder-coated wheel that you can use soap and water or chrome that you can clean with regular glass cleaner.

Here is the thing; I want to get the chrome wheels, not the polished ones. The original link pointed to the polished. Never wanted to get those, but just linking to those for the style. I still want that Crager style. If there are any other wheels that have that old Crager look ya'll can think of getting point them out. Those 18" Solstice are nice but not the style I'm looking for. Thanks....

Man those are real close. Not too sure about the center though. Always liked the small cap, with the lugs showing. That might be a good one to look at and keep in mind when I get ready to purchase. Later..

NP. Cragar is not actually Cragar anymore but still good quality. 19 years in the biz and you learn a few things. Anytime I'm able to assist with a tire or wheel question I'm happy to do so.

I think you can get torque thrusts with a custom bolt pattern that fits. There is a link somewhere in here for them. Uber cool!

Thanks for the info guys. Ya'll have been great with the info. I have looked at the torgue thrusts and I actually like the look of those a lot. I just need to try and find a place that has the right size. Most of the ones I found were for rear wheel drive, old style classics. But they look great. I will keep looking and hope to find a size. I know there was someone in here that had those. Just need to search the forum.

Searched the forum and came up with this:
https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/show...=torque+thrust
Problem is that these are a little high in price. In the original link he said that he paid $170 each wheel and that included the custom drill and shipping. That is about 1/2 what they are now. Course that was some years back. These look good on that car though....

Later....
