ok im as mad as a maverick owner being asked if his car is a mustang!!!!

That's the problem. All magnum 500s are made by the same manufacturer now days. Ive called everyone and they all get them from the same place.

I may just have to go with something similar and be done with it. My tires are going to dry rot before they hit the road at this rate.

 

ok so i cancelled my order on the magnums and went with some chrome craigar super sports. i think itll look just as good if not better depending on if i get the stance like i have it in my head. theyll be in this monday. finally some forward momentum.

 

No you can't!!

 

They're in! That took only 2 days. Now to put the 5 lug rear in...and rebuild my front with the 5 lug disc brakes. I have all the parts so maybe in a few weeks ill have them on the car.

 

They look great! Glad you can continue on getting your car ready!

Are those uni-lug? I would have thought they abandoned that setup years ago. They are a great wheel, hopefully the chrome is more durable than the originals.

 

Yes uni-lug. Just read a million articles on them. As long as the washers are carefully put on correctly and all lugs hand tightened first....then torqued....there shouldnt be a problem.

 

I had a set as a kid that were well used, what a nightmare it was to get those things lined up! No doubt they aren't as bad when they haven't been beat to death.

 

I consider myself the Cragar expert. Whatever you do.....use CRAGAR brand lug nuts and washers. Others are similar, but not the same.

 

From the pix a few post earlier; "That would be a fair statement".

 

Yes got them.

 

Cragar lug nut on the left. Generic look-alike on the right. The taller lugnut is necessary so one doesn't scratch their wheels with the socket.

 

yes, but won't the washers prevent the socket from scratching?

I have the cragar lug nuts and washers ready to go. Can't wait to get these wheels on. Pretty sure in a few weeks I can have it done. Got a 5 lug rear I'm rebuilding and also have to rebuild the front suspension and get the 5 lug disc brakes on.
