Cragar stopped producing 15 x 4.5 S/S ?
A friend of mine tried to order 15 x 4.5 Cragar S/S today from Jegs. They told him they could no longer get them due to Cragar stopping production on that size. I'm sure some of you may know this, but it's news to me.

Cragar used to still offer Custom offsets. I think you can probably still have them made, but will now have to pay the custome upcharge. Just speculation on my part. Maybe there is a rim supply problem.

Good point. Maybe they can be had that way. I'm glad I bought mine last year. I'm going to check stock at a few places. It may pay to squirrel a set away.

Summit is still offering them and they are still on the Cragar website.Maybe the guy at Jeg's is uniformed?

That's what I asked my friend. He was going to check stock at Summit and some other places yesterday and get back with me. Haven't heard back from him yet. I'm going to make some calls today and find something out.

jegs had better prices over summit I found (15 x 10), plus they were easier to work with to get a custom offset from cragar. cragar will do what every u want.
Its $50 a wheel for that. not sure about the smaller wheel info. -bob

Keep in mind they moved production of the center sections "overseas" in 2006.
