    Alex.....are they still just 14 and 15 inchers?
    I always wished they came in a 16 inch wheel.
    Alex....are the widths still 6 inch and up?

    Thanks Alex.....I was hoping they would now be available in more different sizes.....
    A 15x5 would have been sweet, and a new range of 16's too

    aw well.....

    Alex, Is this company going to offer the kidney bean style chrome steelies with the astro spinners sometime in the future?
     
  15. So, how do they differ from what's out there now? I'm curious. The ones I buy now look like what I ran 35 years ago.

    I got a new Summit catalog and they have the US Wheel Supremes now
     
  17. I think the ones we get now are JUNK, mine wobbled like a dog shitting razor blades (new out of the box) and they where standard offset. Maybe the new ones will be a quality wheel.

    I just put a set built for me by stockton wheel on my galaxie and they look awesome! but I just cant seem to get all the vibration out of em, the set I got are fit alls and I dont think i will do that again I had em balanced two times at les schwab called stockton wheel who told me to come on down and they rebalanced em free talk about a great company they even got all but the teeniest bit of vibe out, best cust service of any shop I have done buisness with so far but if gambinos are not fit alls I could be talked into another set if the price is right.

    Was my question directed towards you?
    My legit question was directed to Alex Gambino about possible new sizes....not Cragar SS's and your opinion.
    Why do you feel its necessary to open your gate hole and try to ridicule?


    Alex,thanks for the heads up,we will see ya soon.

    My Questain too... 5 on 5 to fit my 61 Olds HT? I was just thinking this week about finding a set for it.
     
  22. What can I say? I'm very opinionated. I dig Cragar SS's and Supremes. But, some things should just be left alone. If someone talks shit on my stuff, I don't care. Everyone's entitled to an opinion. Something about a 15 inch Supreme just looks "off" to me. So, I would think 16's gotta look like shit. Cragar SS's are one of my favorite rim on everything from traditional Lowriders to Hot Rods, but in 16's they suck. If my opinion offends you, I will appologize for that. But, I'm still entitled to my opinion

    IF supremes were made in a tall 16 inch wheel,(a 16x6 or 7)my reasoning for my initial question was they would look KILLER on a early 60's fenderless HOTROD.(rear wheels)
    Think Weesner here.
    In combination with the NEW 16 inch SKINNY slicks(7-7.5 inch footprint) offered by Cody(Hotrodrubber) of Hurst....It would be pure eye Kandy.
    I also asked about a small width supreme... because 6 inches on a open wheel hot rod does not look good in MY opinion. A 15x5 would fit the bill..... not 15x6, which is currently available.

    The only other solution for the FRONTS would be to slice them,narrow and re chrome....... very expensive.
     
  24. It sounds like you're inviting my opinion here? For me, Supremes have always been a Sled/Kustom/Traditional Lowrider wheel, and do not look good on anything resembling a Hot Rod. I've seen em on fenderless cars with black, white, and wide white tires, and never thought they looked right. But, this again is an opinion. It just ain't a Hot Rod wheel

    from nowhere...

    I can see it...Really, how much different are they from a torque thrust style wheel? they look fine on a hot rod, imo...
    a 5" would be where its at, though, up front...I don't like too wide a wheel up there on a fenderless rod. Its the reason my junk doesn't sport a set of Radirs right now, too...They need some 5" ers, as well...
