Crager Wheels - 84mm and 82mm
Here are some specific information: First, weight 80mm invasion = 88 grams, second, weight 84mm invasion gen 2 = 98 grams, third,weight crager 88mm = 104 grams and fourth, weight crager 84mm = 92 grams.
There's still some tip from crager wheels race that bont wheels are getting very good. The new crager wheels 84mm and 88mm are designed to fit smaller 688 mini bearing. This eliminates the need for adaptor sleeves, which is good. But you know what these snipper 88mm frames comes with spacers that are perfect for these wheels. The 88mm wheels is a large wheels, and using 5 of them on the Bont sniper 88mm frame makes for a long frame. Now make sure that you have a plenty of power for these frames. They will make you faster, but remember power is what they need. Now if you are a larger more powerful skater, you definitely like the 88mm crager wheels. Mini bearing fits tight in these, and they are supposed too.

How Do I Care for My Crager Wheels?

Crager Wheels Bolt Pattern
I love Crager Wheels... and I really love driving it.... now that i have already a cragar wheels, which is not a brand new one. You know what..... my father's told to me, now that you have your own car now, you have to learn how to use it well and learn how to take care of it..... It is not enough that you have a car just to be accessible in all places that you want to go....
To share one of my experience as i go along having a cragar wheels is how to measure my blot patter? and it has a 5-blot pattern. Measuring a 5-bolt pattern is very difficult to do without using the a bolt pattern gauge. Basically you would measure the diameter of a circle that crosses through the center of the lug holes.... My father told me that this method is not recommended to confirm wheel fitment....
Aside from the 5-bolt pattern of cragar wheels, measuring also the 4, 6 and 8 bolt, you measured from the center of one lug hole to the center of the opposite hole.

CRAGER WHEELS CLASSIC....
Since all cragar wheels are a lug centric i used to balance a unilug through out the lug nut holes. Remember Crager S/S do not fit to a 6-lug truck as it would have a 6 spokes. S/S is only made in rear wheels drive remember that.
People sometimes ask how do i measure the bolt pattern of cragar wheels, and my tips is on a five lug pattern you measure from the center of one stud, skip a stud and to the far side of the third stud.. Got it? it so easy...
I have also an idea of backspacing which is usually ask by the customer who are fond loving also of cragar wheels. Backspacing is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheels, which contacts the hub, to the back rim flange.
