Cal Chrome Wheels

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for history, information, insight, or anything on the old school brand "Cal Chrome". The brand I understand is no longer around but I can not seem to find any information about the wheels, company, or anything on the inter-webs. I see there are a few pics of the vintage catalogs and a few hub centers on eBay but no meaningful info at all on the brand.
I ask this as I believe I got a pair of 15"x10" Cal Chrome Super Supreme's that I would love to know more about.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

I see you're full reply on email notification but not on the forum, is this normal? Haha

Re: Cal Chrome Wheels

Yes, I've looked at the company you pointed out and they say they've been around since 1996 and these wheels I got are older I'm sure.

Here are some photos of the wheels, the hub center isn't correct.

Re: Cal Chrome Wheels

They were good wheels and at the time they were just considered knock-offs of Cragar SS wheels.
