Post subject:  DC-1 or Cragar 398?

Im looking into both the cragar 398's http://www.quadratec.com/products/92601_5XX_B_PG.htm and the DC-1 http://www.carolinaclassictrucks.com/di ... 58421.html rims. Yes some of you may know I am going for the chrome bc the rest of my jeep is basically all chrome.

The only thing im worried about with the DC-1's are that they are 15x8. Will I be fine when I air down with an 8" wide rim?

My other concern is the cost. I have found the cheapest per rim I could, and I know how the cragars are bc mostly everyone has them, but has anyone ever expereinced the DC-1's like on their rigs?

Thanks for the input!!

I am not a fan of chrome, however I would go with the DC, they are different from what everybody else runs. I would be concerned with running 15's just my thought, even though everyone else runs 15's :lol:

yea everyone says "no chrome on a jeep" "im not a fan" blah blah blah lol :roll: but Its going to match instead of looking wierd. But why are you concerned about running 15's?

15" DC-1's won't fit. Only 15" steel (cragar, unique, etc...) wheels fit.

Yeah, usually 16's are more expensive.

BTW, Summit Racing has them for cheaper.

$56.95

15x7 w/4" BS

15x7 w/4.25" BS

Summit is the place for wheels. Especially compared to Quadratec. But if you want the chrome look, go for it. Who cares if some people don't like it on Jeeps, you're the one driving it.

But I like the Cragars. The DCs look too much like a wheel for an Escalade, or something like that IMO.
