Cragar also made "Street Super Tricks"(SST). Those would have obviously been stronger & heavier.

IMO, those would not have been as good as the alum "fake" tricks I bought. Definitely not as light.
Those I bought for our '67 Bird were American Racing brand "Outlaw 1" wheels. They're still available.

I'd posted that those wheels were Appliance brand. That was wrong. The wheels I bought in '77 were Appliance brand. But those showing on the front of the '67 Bird, in '88, were the American Racing Outlaw 1 wheels. I edited that post & made the correction. |
I didnt know the Outlaw 1 wheels have been around for so long. What Id really like to find are Cragar’s old Weld Draglite knock-off wheel, theyre called Cragar Street Lite wheels. I think they stopped making them late 90’s or early 2000’s, im not sure. They arent even on Ebay, I think theres 1 but its too wide for my application. Never seen them in person, stuff like that.
Stuff thats crazy rare, you just never see anymore that brings people back to those memories is what I love buying for my car, its a very nostalgic time. Most I guess are lost to history, sitting on the side of Paradise Drag Strip, rotting away.
