Crager SS Rims Reply #1 – November 08, 2005, 10:21:23 AM I dunno about legal, I'm sure there's plenty of guys out here with ways around your mounting dilemma but, from personal experience, if the price was too good to be true, I would really be concerned with cracks. I've seen OLDER sets of Crager SS rims at swap meets at dirt cheap prices but, when you go over them with some magnification ( I was lucky enough at the time to have access to a complete metals lab) you can find cracks around the bolt hole center that would make you a little goosey about running 'em on anything more powerful than a lawnmower.Just some advice from a guy who's seen a lot of strange things in the auto parts world over the years.If you know the history of the rims, take a shot at mounting 'em but, if your at all in doubt you might wanna have 'em magnafluxed or similar process. If they show any cracks you might wanna re-apply the dirt and sell 'em to someone else. Quote Selected

Scored! but need infos... Reply #3 – November 08, 2005, 07:47:49 PM I paid 100$(Can $) They look good to the eyes.... I dont have adjustable magnifying eyes (yet) but they look ok...If there is cracks on em, they are microscopic... cause i aint see nothing... thank for the advice.They were sitting in the backstore of a Used-parts with the other mags they had. I saw em when looking for some other parts with the employe. He had no idea he had those in stock until I showed him. So, I dont know their history... I'm asking about the spacer because this car will have to pass inspection before it can be used on the road. Quote Selected
