Texan Wire Wheels RWD vs Old School Cragar Star Wire 30 spoke

[@dvzuniga1]

Dope ass video my guy. All the same questions you had I have too and I'm glad you made this video cuz I thought they would have that poke too. I need to get these for my Cutlass and Caddy.

[@blackblack8224]

Me too

[@antoniothaking305]

Thanks fam you answered all of my questions and thoughts.now time to go get them on my 77 Cadillac coupe deville

[@davejones1959]

I went through several of these on my 79 Eldo back in the day. They didn't last very long before they failed. They were the hottest set up with a set of Vogue tires. We called them Chariot Wheels when they had the spinner on them.

[@Mr.boxxchevy]

Thanks I've been looking at the rwd reverse 20s I just might pull the trigger and get them

[@DJ_PHILCO79]

Did you get them

[@PTX0432]

Did you ?

[@MrFat.]

I bought a set of "Bones"/Trus plus 4 new tires, in the mid 80's, for $900. I still have them and they are solid steel. No Aluminum. I drive a Mercedes now instead of a Chevy, so they sit in my basement wrapped up. Thoses were the days. 😎✌

[@blackblack8224]

This is a great video I've been a fan of these wheels since 1984

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

Liar said u hated em punk lil fairy type mf

[@gerardogarcia6116]

Appreciate the feedback bro. I’m hell on searching a good set of cragar star wires for my 52 Chevy but after this vid I’ll just go with the swangas. I’m from Texas but the super poke while I don’t knock it , not my thing

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

Unless u have kept ur older swangz in the best shape possible over the years buying a new set is dumb cause they don’t weld em right anymore and have cheap machines do it rather than hand held welders u got to be cleaning and checking the spokes after each ride to keep swangz up to par nowadays

[@TexasSpaceCowboy]

I'm glad I found your video I have an offset pair of cragers I wanted to bolt up but I might just put em on display

[@Kingofspokes]

U can ride the original cragars if u pay attention to em I would recommend checking the lug tightness before u drive every time and getting a set of hub centric rings

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

U certainly don’t know much at all I’m surprised u even know how to work on a car let alone build a project🤡

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

I have every set of cragars ever made and several keystone and daytons as well all made before the streets used em

[@ThatPatriot]

I’ve had many sets of 30’s and Vogues on my caprices

[@davidnarvaez8610]

I just saw cragar starwire wheel coming back in production wow, but not available yet but coming ima save for those.

[@Kingofspokes]

I’m interested to see what the truespoke cragar starwire will be like

[@borla4491]

Yep. Keep in mind that there's a lawsuit of a federal level, by Cragar/Truespoke that had been put out....Cragar suspended it's making of the Starwire due to that. And they(Cragar/Truespoke) stated that no Patent has been bought from thing or anything like that

[@dewarkhodern9990]

@@borla4491 Correct

[@FATTEXAN1]

Is there an original lug nut that was used with these wheels? Thanks for the video!

[@Kingofspokes]

They use the cragar mag lugs 3/4 long shank and the cragar washers either center home or offset depending on the bolt pattern u got I use custom hubcentric rings in the back to ease installation and improve the ride quality since these wheels are unilug and lug centric

[@blackout260112]

Does the center cap sit inside the hub or just on top

[@Kingofspokes]

It sits on top on the front There’s a cone shaped washer and a Phillips head screw that goes thru the back of the hub inside the hole and screws into the cap

[@blackout260112]

I have a set of star wires, and ordered some center caps, the part number is 29055,are these the right center cap???? Please help

[@Kingofspokes]

I don’t think those are the right caps U can get them here from true spokes website www.tiresandwires.com/cragar-star-wire-wheel-center-caps

[@blackout260112]

So the front wheel drive set stick out more than the rwd

[@Kingofspokes]

Yes that’s the poke style In the 80’s 90’s thru today the Houston guys would ride fwd wheels with adapters on their rwd cars to achieve this poke style Texan wire wheels reproduces both the fwd and rwd wheels and the rwd Texan wire wheels are identical to the rwd cragar star wires

[@Corpuschrist74]

The weld wheels (84's) were vey sought after in the 80's & 90's so much that people were getting killed over them so thank God that Texan wire wheels started making them....

[@borla4491]

Yep.....same with the 15-16 inches Daytons especially painted in gold.....peeps was getting killed over those also

[@blackout260112]

Do a video on installing the center caps

[@blackblack8224]

Ain't shit touching the original cragers

[@PNuttDaKing]

I got two sets . Had 3. My shit pokin long. I had a set of original cragers too. G ridin

[@kamaulipscomb64]

I seen some TWW 20” reverse but they were like 3500.00 and no one carried them

[@Kingofspokes]

Hit up @biglee84swanga on Instagram he’s an authorized dealer for TWW and vogue tyres

[@alphasmurf6563]

What are the deep dish 30’s going for nowadays? Sold 2 sets of them to some Kings in Chicago for $1500 Did I give them away or do alright lol

[@Kingofspokes]

Depends on the condition I’d say tht was a fair deal unless they were like NOS never been rode on

[@rogtuber]

How much are these rwds 15s 30s at tww

[@Kingofspokes]

I got these for 2400 shipping included

[@Chicagomoney86]

👍🏼

[@HandMadeRoyalty]

Rockstar on swangas thats the life

[@DavidRodriguez-gq5ew]

That's Cool the Star wires were the Shit but not standard the Set to have is 30 spoke 13X7 reversed !! Alot of people have rims like what you have but are asking an arm & a leg but they're not valuable . The 13 reversed are the valuable ones cause the are hard to find the Original Weld Star wires

[@Kingofspokes]

I think it depends where you’re at and what kind of car youre putting together. I agree the reverse offsets are the rarest (and coolest imo) and if I didn’t have rear skirts i woulda went with reverse. In the Midwest at least Chicago and surrounding areas the look is 15inch standard or reverse with 235 wide whites so out here a standard set of 15in starwires go for a lot the whole point of my video is to show u can buy these and get the same wheel and while they are still expensive you’re buying a brand new wheel and a stronger wheel Tww makes a 14x7 reverse wheel and a 15x7 reverse I’ve heard rumors of tww making 13x7 reverse special order but I haven’t seen any

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

No one would have touch screen navigation without the hood dodge/Chrysler would’ve never partnered with dub and custom shops to test TVs in vans just know the difference between hood and regular aftermarket for customs I got rides and concepts in my collection only dub released at their shows bruh I use to own 1 of George barris’s original custom designs before it was built at a real concept for whatever he was doing

[@sensaistruckshtx8757]

Can I buy your 84?

[@espirozota6022]

Message me for details bro

[@harrisjames3617]

Could I get that.. the1 that's no good

[@Kingofspokes]

Nah sorry It’s for educational purposes

[@espirozota6022]

Message me for wheels

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

“Educational purposes” just tell the man nicely he can’t have em simple don’t need to make shii up💀

[@DCAZPER]

I remember my guy had a set of FWD Weld wheels when he bought his brand new 79 Eldorado out the showroom.

[@kamaulipscomb64]

Dope video can you send the information for those exact rwd wheels? Prices, contact info, ect.?

[@Kingofspokes]

@biglee84swanga on Instagram

[@cimism610]

GREAT INFORMATION!!

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

Cause we got a mix of street dudes and random mfs in here this another reason social platforms ain’t it if someone posts a vid for a specific audience anyone can comment and add their 2 sense

[@337ImpSSrydah]

That second wheel u said is a 84 is NOT a 84.

[@Kingofspokes]

Yeah U right I knew it was an 83 I just said the wrong thing

[@deshawnreal1690]

If u are not ballin don’t mess with these rims. These are really SHOW rims and not for everyday use.

[@Kingofspokes]

U can ride em if u pay attention to em But you gotta clean em and tighten the lugs daily and that’s more headaches than you probably want to deal with on a daily

[@xmo552]

I've had spokes forever. The Starwires were and are junk.

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

Again these are things these culture vulture fans don’t care or know about they just wanna seem cool for some cars and rims they got no heart for real car shii they just trendy lames like everyone else real mfs knew when Swangz were getting stolen real mfs who had money were the only ones riding swangs all these lames think the slab game sweet but mfs were left bleedin on the curb for ppl to own a set or even a pair of em

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

And again idc if ur black white Arab Hispanic if ur not street don’t put 84’s or 83’s or g28’s or g10’s on ur car if u want spokes get the original market rims for racing and not for poking which is hood car culture again just in case some of y’all fan boys who drool over these rims forget

[@Kingofspokes]

What are you getting at here?

[@HandMadeRoyalty]

Show ur car

[@Kingofspokes]

I got em on a 84 olds 98 regency 2 door I’ll make a vid soon

Man I hate that POKE style

[@xmo552]

Reverse are perfect for lowriders. Crosslace for the Europeans. Hot rods can run em... But that poke style is straight re-re.

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

Real men rode star wires on lowriders first before poking ever came about the first rims to poke weren’t spokes it was long lug nuts on mercurys that had the first pokers like a Mack trucks lug nuts then 60’s 70’s came around then u started to see spokes poke on caddy’s and cragar then u had the hood put their own twist on it

[@Sanctify534-nr6qo]

Lead sleds that rode solid rims were first to ever stick out by the redesign of where lugnuts were positioned
