    Down to 2 wheels in my choice. The second choice of course are the Cragar SS with the 3 prong cap. But my first choice is these but won't be release until April so I have to wait and see. Rocket makes a nice wheel. SS and cast versions. The 15x10 will be released first and then the 15x8 a few weeks later. Rockets are about 200 apiece for the 15x8

    I think either set will look really good on a vehicle.

    I like the Injector too, but I don't think either set will get you kicked out of a respectable event! Twisted Evil

    Those rockets look good!

    Summit has a wheel called a "Pulsar" that looks ver ysimilar depending on the depth/offset you want. I was looking at them for my van and pretty much decided to keep my 14x7 slots.

    here's a 15x8 pulsar for comparison, PN# SUM-541-5165PS, $135 each

    These defiantely arent the same as the Rockets, but look an awful lot like those Pulsars. http://www.jdwheels.com/halibrand_replica.htm That flat inside looks cool .

    Both looks great!!! What I also like is they look easier to clean, that the biggest pain about rims

    While I agree that the Cragar is a great looking wheel, I've had bad luck with mine. I special ordered a set of 15"X15" Cragars, mounted my Hoosier 33.00X22.50's on them and put them in the basement over the winter. When I put them on the A-100 in the spring I had areas of the wheel that were dull. No pitting or peeling, just dull. Cragar basically would do nothing for me so when the time comes I WON'T be buying Cragars again. I do like the Rocket wheels that you posted pics of. I bet they won't have any 15"X15" in that style. I just may go back to a steel wheel with a dog dish hub cap when the time comes.Just my two cents. Thanks, Larry in East China Mi.

    Hey,

    Thanks for the opinions. I'm sold on the Rockets. Rocket tells me they have a few dealers around me and will give me a heads up for when they're shipping. I'll post em when I get em on.

    I sure do like them Rockets. Are they Billet Alum.? Also what is the offset on the rear wheels?

    Thanks

    I think they're stainless and for 15x8 they have 3.75 backspace which I believe comes out to -19 offset and 4.50 backspace which is 0 offest. They only have 15 x 4.5, 8, and 10 inch rims.
