Cragar S/S too old school?
Back in the day cragar s/s were very popular. I don't see
any here.Is it because they've gone out style or the just don't
look right on an f-body? I'd like to see pics of them on an f-body.

Cragar SS were an optional wheel on the ZL1 cars and were standard on all the Berger Hot Rod Camaros. There's quite a few out there...just don't see many on here with them. And FYI Torq Thrusts were a competitor to Cragars "back in the day" they're not a knock off of anything. Not sure of timing but Torq's may predate Cragars.

And I disagree with the comment above that these wheels don't look good on F-bodies. If that were true, I wouldn't sell so many of them and I certainly wouldn't have them on my own Camaro ! ! ! !
Here are some pictures that I have posted several times in different threads on this website.
The photograph below is a friend of mines 2002 Sebring Silver Phase IIX Hot Rod Magazine Camaro #1974.
The photograph below is my Phase II 2002 Onyx Black ZL1 Supercar.
These pictures below are wheels that I sold and installed on Camaros:

In fact, the Gateway Camaro Club has an outside "Muscle Car Show" along with the Supercar Reunion. The Supercar Reunion cars are shown inside the Convention Center in Collinsville and the Gateway Camaro Club has their show outside in the parking lot.
At last years show (2005) a guy liked my Cragar S/S wheels so much that I sold him a set right there on the spot. He paid me and trusted me to ship them to him as soon as I got home. They were going to go on his '02 Sebring Silver Camaro.

I like them if I were not able to get my hands on a set of Tom Henry TTII's I would have picked up these wheels. They do look good on pewter metallic like on my friends Hot Rod Z (#1976).
(center caps changed these are what were on the car from Berger)

Nice looking Hot Rod ! ! ! ! If you notice above, my friend's Hot Rod is #1974 and has been converted to a Phase IIX 475 H.P. Camaro now.
The wheels I sell come with both the center cap you have pictured above and also the Cragar S/S center cap. The reason for this is that the wheel "techinically" is a "Bullet" wheel. The original Cragar S/S wheel is no longer produced and the "Bullet" wheel has taken its place.
Here is a pic of the wheel with the Cragar S/S center cap that I sell:
