Astro Custom Supreme Wheels were manufactured by Astro Enterprises, a company based in Gardena, California, starting in 1964 . These wheels were popular in the mid-1960s and were considered the standard cool wheel of the day . They were used on many custom cars and hot rods of the era, including Pete Limpert’s 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan, Jim Robertson’s 1961 Ford, Sandy Gordon’s 1961 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible, Allen Duke’s 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS, and Jon Karlsson’s 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 3.
Astro Custom Supreme Wheels were known for their unique design and high quality. They were available in 13, 14, and 15 inch sizes, and came in standard or reverse styles .
The wheels that Truespoke® sells today are in the style of the original designs but much improved. For example, the center section of the wheel is welded into the chrome outer rim and a “safety bar” is welded over the rim and center section for added safety.
The Truespoke® Supreme wheels are made in America, not China. The sizes range from 13 X 7 inches to 15 X 10 inches. The wheels have a universal bolt pattern that allows them to fit most GM, Ford and Chrysler 5 lug bolt patterns.
The main advantages of these wheels is that they never go out of style and are easy to maintain. With only five large spokes, cleaning them is easy instead of trying to clean 100 to 200 spokes in a wire wheel. The wheels are also easier to mount and balance tires on than a wire wheel. Finally, Supreme Chrome Wheels are far less money than a wire wheel.
Instead of using a knockoff adapter and lead hammer to attach the wheel to your car, Supreme Wheels are direct bolt-on type.
Here at Truespoke®, we keep a large inventory of wheels at the best prices and service.
