I'm ready to sink some money into new wheels for my 66 fastback. Currently I have original 14x5" styled steel with the trim rings, and while they are in very good shape for original wheels, there is a little rust, and they aren't wide enough.

I have ALWAYS liked the chrome Cragar SS (and since i'm 39 that's a long time) but never had the money (or the car) to put them on. I want to make the car stand out a little more, and personalize it a little (it's basically stock) while still keeping it in the "stock" classes at the car shows.

Thinking about 16x7 wheels, 4.125 bs, with 205/50 and 225/50 tires.

Anyone have any recommendations on who/where to order the wheels from? Or maybe who to avoid?

The Cragar SS's are among the most affordable wheels there are. If you lilke 'em, get 'em!

If it were me, I'd just price them at the local tire stores and see what they can do for you.
