Default Cragar

What is everyone's thoughts on CRAGAR wheels?

Good design? (I'm looking at the 342 or 352) High quality?

Any drawbacks to them? are they crazy heavy?

Just so everyone knows what we're talking about here:

These are Cragar Series 342's


and these are Cragar 352's


Now, assuming they come in a 5x5 bolt pattern, I actually like these wheels and have something similar to them on my CJ now. They are a bit heavy and I hear they can sometimes be hard to balance due to them being a bit out of round but overall, you can't beat the price and they are pretty tough wheels

i had something similar to them on my TJ, the 342's, its a tough wheel, rocks tend to bend the edge, but its nothing a BFH cant fix..

I also had issues with limbs, branches jamming into the bead, but im sure you'll have that on any rim. it was also an easy fix, Its the way to go IMO. If your into wheeling, id rather mess up at $40 rim than one that costs a couple hundred bucks.

I think they make the 5 by 5... could be wrong.
