Help
[:I]Hi all. I just bought a 2003 Cruiser and joined this linked. I read some chat and this seems like the best media for info. I want to change my stock wheels. I would like Crager stainless steel 5 spoke design, you know like the crager mags of the 60's. Should I stick with my stock 15" wheels or increase to 16,17 or 18? do theymake Cragers for cruisers? Thanks in advance for any help or guidance. Thanks Ed

Wel;come to the Forums. As to what size wheels, it depends on what you want. Handling? Ride? Good Looks? In my opinion, for a daily driver, 15 or 16" wheels are best - go bigger and there's less tire between you and your rims which means a harsher ride. Bigger rims with wider tires handle better, but go too far and you can end up with expensive, dented rims if you drive it daily.
MY OPINION.

Mrez53,
Don is right its matter of what your used to.. I am running 225/35 series rubber on 19 inch wheels.. Sounds like you like the old school look, so maybe a 17" with a 215/45-17, or 18" with a 225/45-18 tire.. Plenty of sidewall plus larger wheel to fill up the wheel well.. Kevin
