Cragar S/S ID

[scott657]

Picked up a pair of Cragar super sports this weekend. They are a 2 piece construction.
The wheel hoop has a taper to it which is different than the "stepped" hoops I am used to seeing.
I was wondering what year or generation these might be from, or if they were made custom.
Please excuse my ignance

Originals were made in the good old USA.
Yours Hencho En Mexico.
Yours are later model rims. Year, I can't tell you.
Still cool.

They look that way because Cragar used the 14" Small-BC center section (spoke casting) and attached it to the 15" rim. Rim is stepped down to fit the small center section. Whether made in U.S. or Mexico, the A-body Cragars all look that way.

Those aren't small bolt pattern wheels.

Those aren't small bolt pattern wheels.

How can you tell? The ones I had looked exactly like that.

They are not SBP wheels. Unilug 4.5-5.0

Well then I have no clue for what other reason Cragar would use 14" centers with 15" rims. But that's what you're looking at.

BC on those wheels are probably 5 x 4 1/2 & 5 x 4 3/4, not 5 x 5.

Cragar did that with the 15" small bolt wheels they make now. They only make 1 center for those wheels. The Uni lug wheels in your photo are 4 1/2-4 3/4" bolt circle.
