Supremes Advice/Opinions

I’m wanting to put Astro Supremes on my latest ‘66 short fleet. I have a few questions though.

1) Should I get a full set of 15x7’s or do 15x8’s in the rear?
2) Who makes the best ones?

I do not want “Uni-Lug” wheels so I know that narrows the field a bit.

I did see that Cragar makes a set that are “Direct fit” in a 5x5 pattern. But the wheel has an aluminum center and steel rim. I’m just not sure that’s a good thing or bad? Anyone run these or a wheel of this type build?

Thanks so much for your thoughts and advice!

15x8’s on all 4? Truspoke does make them but again they are Uni-Lug.

Looks like the only direct fit version of this rim is made by “Unique” sold under the Cragar name on Summit. But for some reason Summit doesn’t have the 15x7 or 8 in the 5x5 bolt circle listed, thought that was odd....

This is the look I’m going for. I believe these are 15x7 up front and 8’s in the rear but I cannot find specs on this truck. Maybe it belongs to a member here?
