    I am looking at some used Cragar SS wheels online and keep coming across the term uni-lug. What does that mean? I am sorry for the dumb question but I do not know what it means. Also, I am looking at them for my 71 Mav 5 lug. If they say "5 hole 4.5, 4.75, 5.0 unilug patterns, came off GM A body car" Will they fit my Mav?

    yup, they'll fit. uni-lug simply means that the rim has an elongated or slotted stud hole so that it will fit a variety of lug patterns

    Unilug is where the hole on the rim for the wheelstub is oblong shaped, so it will fit Dodge Chevy, etc. It requires a certain washer to assure the rim stays attached, lol. I have not seen a set of unilug rims in along time. How much are they? Got any pics? Take care, Guy.

    I also found these but wonder if they are worth the money.

    The set of (4) in Houston don't look like Cragars. Look like Fentons or Superior wheels. Still a decent price.
