best site to purchase steelies

Hey guys.

I am in the process of hunting down a good deal on a set of cragar d-windows.
I am working out of town, so I don't have much time to browse on my phone.

Who knows of a good site with a good deal on cragars? They must accept PayPal.

I'm pretty much set on cragars, but if anybody has any suggestions for another steel wheel, don't hesitate to offer up your opinion.

Thanks for the help guys.

That's was my first option, but I know there are other sites sometimes with good deals.

Best all around site ive ever used and found for them was http://www.desertrat.com/ Just go to the wheels section, then aluminum and steel wheels, then to US steel wheels.

Hope that helps, pretty good prices for quality steelies, they are even made in the US, as well as being tough powder coated, rather than used spraybombed craightlist/ebay crap. Id like to have the Black Rock Crawler Steelies in 15x8, and for only 50 bucks a wheel being brand new, nice look, strong powder coating, made in the US, good customer service, just a good all around site to use IMO.

Haha I know. I think I\'m on the right track now. Should look better in a week. I loved the polished wheels but not in the winter and cleaning the all the time. I also wanted 15s and better tires.

Looks good, but would look better with the weights on the inside. I do like it better all blacked out.

Those cragers are great in winter. Spray them and there clean. Although the edges/lip on mine held dirt and would run a little but not too bad.

I'm actually looking at getting a set of D-windows now.
I just hope they'd clear the hubs and i could carry it over to the next truck.
