Old School Muscle Car Wheels

Looking for 70's style chrome wheels for my Camaro (think Cragar SS style). I've looked at Foose Legend and American Racing Torq wheels. Does anyone know of any others out there? Looking for 20" staggered (stockish) sizes.

thanks

If you like the Cragar S/S style, then why not use it?!?!?! Cragar makes both of these below, and they're available in a staggered 20" set in the correct 5x120 bolt pattern.

Here's another option for ya....Rocket Racing Wheels makes this "Booster" Wheel in a chrome 20" staggered set. Not sure if the offsets are correct for a 6th Gen, but they were made for 5th Gen, so should be pretty close!!! If you really wanted to go "old school", they make a 3-spoke spinner knock-off cap for these too!!!

My opinion...Worth about 2 cents...

I think the Cragar's looked great in 14 and 15 inch styles on the old cars. Had a set on my 65 Corvette many years back. They looked great.

But in 20" they simply don't look right. Saw a set on a Mustang this past summer. Then again haven't seen a set on a gen 6 Camaro yet.

Back in the Day...A set of Cragar SS's were one of THE wheels to have.

They should make those deep dish sytle, similar to what's on the GTO, but even deeper

Which Cragar rim did you see?

I like the 614C and the 620MB on the Cragar visualizer screen....and BTW....my camaro is a black SS just like the visualizer....

The visualizer is good but not like in person.

Those are the 617's....I wish they had a full gloss black set with no machine/chrome edges. Like to see how that would look.....

I read that the flat blacks are hard to keep clean.
