For Those Who Own Cragar Wheels
Hey guys!
Just wanted to know if they are good compared to other brands. I was told that these wheels are not easy to balance and are also heavy? would any one care to comment on:
Cragar Wheels 342 15X8 5X5 BC 5''RS
I was looking into mounting some Toyo OPMT 33/12.5R15 tires.
I appreciater your comments.

i have 15x8 3.75bs cragar street locks on toyo op mt 35s.
they are kinda heavy and take a lot of weights to balance, but its a steel wheel. toyo op mts are heavy too, so if you are looking for lightness, both your wheel and tire combo arent the lightest choices out there.
im completely happy with mine.

Thank for all the replies on my concern. So, since both the wheels and the tire are heavy should I be worried since I own a '07 X 3.21 gears.
If the above is not a problem at all i will go ahead and buy this week and post pictures for everyone to see the before and after
.. if you guys think it is not an optimal choice, I would appreciate a little help on what other choices out there I have that would not compromise my drive. I live in florida and I do light offroading, however I d o drive around a lot since as most of you know nothing around here its less than 10 miles away

Take a look in the modified section, I believe the 3.21 gears might be light but we would need WayofLife to reply as he has seen allot more setup than I. I;m thinking of the 16 cragars for the price. Looking at At BFGS also.

I have 3.21's and 33's but a manual.....no problem with power, but 6th is worthless on hills under 65 mph....if you have an auto it might not be a real good match unless you plan to regear
