CRAGAR Custom Shop for wheels will be opening back up in 2024!
CRAGAR Custom Shop for wheels will be opening back up in 2024.
I rec'd an email this morning stating custom backspace wheels will be offered. Sounded like what I've been try to get for my 442 for a couple years now.
I called customer service line and the first girl didn't really have and details about the custom shop other than it was closed. I hung up and looked at their site it was interesting because it showed the 61C583442 CRAGAR SS wheels I want to get eventually. I called the customer service line back and the new girl was very helpful and knowledgeable. They are direct dril.....not unilug and they won't be available until next year when they open the custom shop back up. She said to go to the CRAGAR website and enter my name at the bottom list to get on the mailing list and it's opening will be announced there. So, there is hope!
One question for when the time comes.....does a 1972 Cutlass 442 have a 5X4.75 bolt pattern?

That's interesting. I wonder if they'd be able to make a new set of Cragar 30 spoke StarWires?
Even if they could, I got pretty poor service from Cragar years ago when I was considering buying a set of Soft 8s. I called and asked for detailed measurements to ensure the wheel would fit. The custom service gal said they didn't give out that info. I told her I'd be willing to email their technical department. But she said she wouldn't give me any additional emails. So, I bought a set of Eagle Alloys instead.

They're just doing custom backspacing from what the email said! Looks like the 61C style CRAGAR SS wheels:

Good news is that CRAGAR is going to produce the 15 X10 CRAGAR SS in a 5.5 inch custom backspace, I just ordered a set from Summit on back order. They are supposed to be shipped at the end of May!
