    I held back last time this discussion came up but here goes. Check yes to each of the following if it applies to you:

    #1 Do you have an 8 track in your car?
    #2 Do you have a cassette player in your car?
    #3 Do you have a mullet?
    #4 Do you think a set of shackles on your car will make the Cragars look better?

    If you answered yes to any of these I would put Cragars on it otherwise I would go with what looks best to YOU and make it YOUR car.Thats just my opinion,I like to be an individual go with what looks best to me and not give a $@*! what other people think.But alot of people call me a ******* so go figure??:coco:

    Some folks enjoy other peoples opininons. This is a forum where some of us like to trade ideas and opinions, then make our own decision. The new guys to this board are just asking a common question we all had once.

    I like the Cragers better.

    There's an old Middle-Eastern saying that goes, " When one man calls you an ass, pay him no heed. But, when ten men call you ass, it's time for you to be a saddle.

    I broke your statements down into three parts. Part 1 is fine and practiced by most of us on this forum. Part 3 is in direct correllation to how often and how forcefully you project Part 2. Tone down Part 2 and Part 3 will tone down and eventually not happen.

    #1 Yes, 1966 Mustang- came with factory in dash 8 track player.
    #2 Yes, 1999 F350 4x4 Powerstroke, factory in dash cassette player
    #4 Just about everything I own with leaf springs has shackles, ride pretty rough without them
    so, yes, I think they look great, even with Cragars.... most other wheels too....

    Now, maybe I'm too old....OK, I AM too old....but I missed #3. What does a fish have to do with wheels?

    A mullet is more than a fish its a hairstyle,business in the front party in the back.Just think Billy Ray Cyrus and you'll know what I mean.

    I had an uncle that had different hubcaps on a 67 mustang. I must have washed that car a dozen times before I noticed it.
