BEST looking stock or super/stock wheel of the late 60's. jmho.

a bit of trivia here. the man who owned fenton was a good friend of the man who owned cragar . fenton was falling on hard times in the early 70's. so the cragar co. allowed the fenton co. to make exact copies of the cragar S/S wheel. and sell them as fentons. this helped the bottom line. a bit later fenton made a wheel like the cragar supertrick wheel, except they were one piece and street legal. the box came with a bag of nuts and bolts. i sold a lot of those, they were the coolest street wheel around. all the old guys like lou senter [ansen] are gone now.

Here's an old Fenton mag wheel advertisement...

When I mentioned the "brother" wheels to the Cragar S/S I was referring to the Cragar G/T and S/T. You didn't see too many of them since the chrome S/S looked so good very few bought the others.

The other wheels used the same center casting, but one had a black finish center with chromed rim and the other had a natural cast center.

At least that's how I remember them.

I still remember how odd the Super Tricks looked the first time I saw them. We went from the classic good looks of the S/S to the pure function of a disk wheel.

How much would a car pick up going from the old heavy Cragar SS to the light weight Super tricks?

Back in the late 1980s an acquaintance of mine (Frank Maffiore of Ask Frank First fame) switched from Chevy Rally wheels w/center caps to Weldwheels (8-hole version) and reduced the ET a couple of tenths in his mid-eleven second 1980(?) Chevy Malibu bracket car.

Based on that, I'd guess it'd be a similar performance improvement switching from heavy Cragar S/S to very light Super Tricks.

I had a set of Cragar GT's on my 65 elcamino.
Natural gray center and machined aluminium rim.
I really liked the look of those rims except there was no offset to them.
