    Yeah, Speedy from my memory and yep, they all seemed to go rusty the week after you bought them. Every set I ever saw looked like they had been severely neglected and never washed or polished.

    Not a bad looking wheel if re plated, but the cost would be high.

    The wheels were originally called Cragar S/S. But those are probably a speedy wheel. I had a set of 7s & 8s on a Turquoise HZ Kingswood SL 253 sedan a few years ago with very low springs. Looked great, but the chrome on the rims rusted easily & pitted

    Sold many of these new out of my shop in the 80's and 90's. They were a cool copy of the Crager S/S.
    Had a set on my Green HJ GTS and another set on a nice HZ Premier in Burgundy. All you had to do was put the Holden centre cap decals over the Speedy logo!
