who makes those big inch astros?

i was looking at astros on some other postes from a couple years ago and i saw a pic of some larger sized astro supremeish wheels. does anybody know where these can be found or who they are made by?

thanks in advance

try the whitewallcandy store, they can probably help. I just saw some at the Pomona show in December

Email the guys from paradise road in Japan.
maybe ask wheel kid

 

does Radir make them? I know that they have a pretty decent selection of astros.

 

thanks for all the help trying to locate these but neither of those places had them. they did have the bigger white walls to go with them maybe a pic will help jog someones memory with the center cap logo.

no one?

 

kinda looks like American Eagle wheels logo

 

I have been looking for a set of 16's and can't find them anywhere. I think they are only available up to a 15"

 

You mean these? I think they called 'em Stardust?

20x8 1/2...they were even making (or about to make) a 22!





When I got 'em, they were being made by a company called Centurion Wheel in Chino, CA...as I recall, they had taken over the old McLean wheel company. The pic you posted is a brochure that showed them with the optional bolt on spoke covers.

I have no idea if Centurion is still in business, but I believe the American Rallye folks that are HAMB'rs are the McLean family...don't know if there are any "politics" involved, but maybe thats a lead.

 

yup those are them thanks ill do a little research on centurion wheels.

mind if i ask how much those bad boys set you back?

 

dollabill, that is a bitchin burb.. looks good on a rake with big and little rims.. Nothing beats a bitchin older truck or burb.. especially with a 67 nose on it..

 

Well...that was 4 years ago...I was a playa in those days...got 'em for free for taking the truck to SEMA

I think they were like $240 each

 

Boones...

Thanks...I agree, the early sheetmetal is definitely the best.

Funny thing...I bagged it, but the wheels are the same size!

It rode great 2 inches higher than that pic.

Thanks again

 

I was interested in a set of those larger Astro-styled wheels, and went so far as to try to find the Centurion Wheel Co. They had advertisments in the back of R&C's for quite a while, then just stopped. They had a website, and it's been broken for a long time.

I think they up and disappeared.

 

i found a website that claims to sell them but its kind of old.

Centurion Wire Wheels For Gatsby

 

who are the japanes paradise road people, i've never heard of them, sorry so dumb

 

i recognize those rattle can flames anywhere .

How's about a pic of the v-twin air compressor.

 

I know Roadster makes the wire wheels that are on that site, so they make the astro type things too. That is the roadster eagle in the middle of them. We know the guys down there pretty well, maybe I can get them for you if you want them.

thanks for the kind offer i will be pming you as soon as my tax return shows up, now all i need are some white walls!

 

who cares about my opinion anyway, but the itch to add it here is too much....

if you take a classic, great wheel like an Astro and bling it big style-- then it becomes big style bling.

big style bling and traditional customs dont match, in my opinion-- especially with low profile tires. what are you looking to put these on? I think they'd be better fit for a modern era car.
