Anybody recognize these wheels and know who makes them? I really like their looks and was wanting to do a little research on them but I have had no luck figuring out who makes them.
Thanks, Dale |

They are either the Hurst Dazzler or a wheel made by Crager. Crager makes them in a few different shine versions but be careful Crager not only puts there name on the cap like most but also stamps there name into the rim in big letters, something that looks bad and can not be removed. Many people do not buy them just because of there focus on advertising there name on what would have been a really nice wheel. They do also look like the Intro wheels.

They look to be Vista Exposed 5's from Intro Wheels. And, they can even be had in 15" diameters, so you can keep the car looking classy. Just say 'NO' to Ghet-To!! (20" wheels)

Every time I watch Overhaulin' on Velocity channel, I'm amazed at how dreadful the Foos' wheels look on ANY make car! The recent '68 Firebird rebuild that had nice Rally II wheels had them replaced with some hideous 20" Foos wheels. Same with the '64 Fury that required the use of a wooden pry bar to force the rear fenders away from the huge wheels AFTER restoration!
I think it would kill that guy to leave stock or stock-appearing wheels on a car---Oh! That's right! He owns the wheel company!!

I love watching Overhaulin to see the incredible work they do. Then they ruin it all by putting 20" wheels and rubber band tires on the car and slamming it to the ground. I am just looking for a tasteful 17" rim and a decent sidewall tire to maintain the original look but give me the better tire selection of the 17" tires. I have actually found the tires I want to use and a couple of rims that look really good, but I am wanting to consider as many different wheels as I can find. I want to make this decision once and it be the right one the first time.
Thanks for the info on the wheels, I will look them up. Dale |

The Cragar Eliminator 500 is actually one of the wheels I am considering because they come in a 17" but the backspacing might be right at the limits for the back. PY does sell a Hurst center cap for the wheels that makes it look really nice, but you still have the "Cragar" logo on the rim lip.
