Default Cragar Window D wheels, Same as these??

Hey all,
Just ordered my lift kit and now I'm looking for some wheels, and I noticed that the Cragar Black Window D wheels are identical to the Rough Country RCX black steel rims. Rusty's also has a version branded "Allied" that looks identical as well.
Do you think these wheels are re branded under different names or they are just knock offs?

All those you mentioned are copies. IIRC they are all based on old factory wagon wheels and I have no clue which mfg used them first. They were mostly white it the old days.

Jegs also has their own version, which is what i bought, since A) They're $5 to $10 cheaper per, and B) they don't have the pin stripe, which I personally think is ugly.

Other than that... same wheel.

I'm very happy with mine.

I agree with you on that. I liked the price and style but thought the pinstripe was pretty ugly. Thanks for pointing that out to me! I'll probably end up with these. They hold up well you said?

Haven't really abused mine but they're steel wheels, made the same as just about any other, really. No complaints so far.
