Default Cragar SS wheels are junk!

The Carlstar Group is rinky-dink and their Cragar SS wheels are junk. They are comprised of rims (barrels) rolled, half-ass welded, and poorly formed by Cragar in Aiken, SC, shipped to California for a superficial polishing, shipped to Mexico for flash chroming, then shipped back to Aiken for assembly. The aluminum alloy centers are low-quality castings made entirely in China, then shipped to Aiken, SC, for final assembly where the rims and the centers are welded together. It is no wonder that the crappy parts of the wheel do not fit together right!

I saw a 69 GP when ai was in High school. It had aluminum slots on it, one of the best looking cars I've ever seen.U.S. mags are being made again, and they are THE best!!

Unfortunately I don't know. It was a nice car I saw over the summer and took a photo of it.
