Those are my homie Donnie's Cragar Eagle spinners. He runs them on the 30spokes on his Olds. They're probably one of the more rare cragar caps. They pop up on ebay every now and then, but I never see a full set. And lately, all I've seen is a couple gold ones. They're my favorite for sure. Gotta love the hollow 3-bars!

I have them too. The western ones say Western under the big W. The Weld caps have the Weld logo, which is also a W. It's a little boxier W with a line in it. The weld caps actually say Star Wire right above the W. They both used the same style cap, with the border around the edge. Some cragar caps have that same design too. They were all basically the same manufacturer, but with different labels at different times.

haha. No prob homie. I was actually in the same boat. I got my Star Wires and they were stamped "Weld Wheels". I was all confused so I went on a hunt for the correct caps for my wheels. I bought the Western Caps and then I found the Weld advertisement in one of my 1982 LRM's. So I went on yet another crazy hunt for those. :banghead: I finally got them last year. Funny thing is nobody would ever care. Only I know that my wheels say Weld on the inside. But I'm a dork so I HAD to have the "correct" caps. It's all the same shit though. :)

should be on the inside where your dates are stamped.

Just to save you guys time...if you have Weld Star Wires, your wheels will be stamped Weld Wheels Inc in the back of the hub. In one of the spaces between the lug holes. No need to remove your tires.

Here's mine.

Me too. And unfortunately, they're the only ones that are readily available and inexpensive.

I would love to get my hands on some Weld 3 bars.

me and my dad get into talking about wheels every now and then. he always says he cant believe how hard it is to find all these rims considering atleast around here that what everyone rolled on. not to get off-topic but he says tru rays and classics were a dime a dozen around here and now you cant find none of those 2 styles of rims.
