Me too! I love the satin finish, so far I've abused mine pretty good and they've held up nicely..d windows FTW...but seriously i think both styles are equally popular, I actually like the d windows with simulated/real bead locks, but too pricey for me.

I have d windows on my jeep.

ironically, when I bought an s10 roller that I converted to a hot rod, it had soft 8's on it. jeep patern in the rear (8.8) and chevy pattern up front. I've been trying to sell them for a year now with no luck lol.

What kind of D windows are those? What is the red outline?

Looks nice.

They should be AR767s.
I forgot I don't have Craiger D windows. I have the 767s as well...

They could also be a knock off. I've seen similar rims with the redline.

Here are mine. Really dirty, but you get the idea...

Kind of like these. Why the reason for red/blue stripes?

the stripes can be easily removed if you don't like them. that being said, i like them.

i have them (AR-767) on both my tj's. but i have black d-window beadlocks on my xj.

i vote steel rims, either soft 8's or d-windows. but i like the d-windows the best.

Think it looks nice. Would compliment the Patriot Blue perfectly. Why did I need to see these? Now I am going to spend more money than the regular Cragar 8s lol.

You can get the knock offs. I swear I saw them in the quadratech mag I just got.

Quadratech joined here as a supporting vendor, and I got a catalog from the for free. You could do the same.

We also get free shipping since we are members of this forum.

I got mine with the pinstripe from discount tire for cheap. They are made by unique wheels, which is somehow related to Crager in some way. They were the same price as soft 8's.

Be different. Get the Soft 8's in silver and mount OEM hubcaps to them. Or get the Cragar Nomads.


Looking back I wish I had gone silver Soft 8's.
