I've seen ads for Astro wheels. What do they look like? In the early '60's a company was making chrome 5 spokes called Astro Supremes, somewhat similar to a Cragar. I think it was Keystone who made the Astro wheels your refering to. They were an inexpensive chrome slot wheel just like on the '55 your dad's friend had. The local Nationwise Auto Parts had them for something like $12.99 each up into the mid '70's. They were real popular from say '67-'68 up to '70 or so.

Just because I just love how everybody is posting all of their vintage pics I will post another one although not a Chevy it is still GM. This is my dads friends 68 442 that his parents bought for him brand new for a high school graduation present. The car was yellow, red wheel wells, with red line tires.
