Miss the days of Cragar S/S or aluminum slots and chromed go-faster valve covers that made one happy...

I have a set of these Cragars on my '65 Mustang. They look very much like the Shelby-specific Cragars that cost $$$$. I bought the 16" diameter because it looks close to period-correct, allows larger disc brakes and tires are easier to find than in the 15" size.

The overall tire height is within a fraction of an inch of stock, so I didn't change the final drive ratio. The slightly shorter sidewalls do give a somewhat stiffer ride, but not enough to damage anything (or jar any of my fillings loose).
