What screams out 70's style to you more?
Slots or Crager 5 spokes? I am having a bad time choosing at the moment, Been offerd a set of both!
And NO, I am not buying both sets.

5 spokes for me,even modern 5 spokes have a classic when the car is rolling,they just look better IMO

Cragers, the trick is stopping them from going rusty though, they do need looking after.

I know Blue, these ones have no rust or pitting, and are about an hour away. The slots are 6 hours away. The craters have new tires, with all lug nuts for $400. that is about 200 quid. Guess it is a no brainer really!

Cragars... And at that price
also 1/2 an hour away out there is the equivalent of them being at the house opposite...

Wow, what a trip out today, sun was shining, 76 degrees. It was a 5 hour round trip but well worth the effort. Spent $300 and came back with 4 pristine cragers, with lug nuts and centre caps. Oh and 4 brand new tires. The guy was so nice, and so impressed that a Brit had a love for Mopars, he started unloading other goodies, I now also have a set of hooker headers, complete dual,exhaust system for A body, with correct oblong tips. Then he gave me a NOS dash bezel for my car, mine has a little wear on it. Just as I was getting into my car, he came back at me with a couple more boxes. 2, yes 2 complete 150 mph 3 dial dashes. Wow! All that for About £149. Result.
Oh and he has a pristine 1972 Dart, four speed 340 fuel injection for sale. He has had it since 1988. It is pretty amazing. I have video and pics I will post up tomorrow.
It was a good day. I feel all mopareee again.
