Side-by-side comparison of the beloved vintage Truespoke hub and the modern Truespoke.
Both hubs have similar looks and style but there are many important differences.


Modern Truespoke HubS

Structurally, the modern Truespoke hub on the left, is much heavier and thicker than the vintage hub. All edges are much smoother and defined.

An original Truespoke hub is shown below. Notice how thin the steel hub material is compared to the modern Truespoke on the left. The oblong stud holes are what is known as a "Uni-lug" bolt pattern which was dropped in the modern hub due to vibration and difficulty with the oblong washers. The vintage Truespoke was hand-welded together from three pieces. The modern Truespoke is made of one-piece forged steel and is much stronger.

  • With restoration costs approaching or exceeding the cost of modern Truespoke wire wheels, it is hard to make a case for not purchasing brand new Truespokes. The upgrades and changes shown on this page provide compelling proof that the new Truespoke wheel is highly improved. The proof-of-the-pudding will be in the performance and beauty that your new Truespokes will provide.

  • Our chrome-plating is performed here in Southern California by one of America's top chrome platers. Show-quality is a term we don't use lightly. You will be proud of the concours quality appearance and quality of these wheels.

  • Our outer-rims are made by the same good folks who bring you Cragar wheels.

  • Our assembly methods are as precision as possible for a wire wheel that is assembled entirely by hand in Southern California. We employ strict tolerances in the assembly of the wheel to improve ride quality and ease in balancing.

  • No longer a mass-produced wheel as in the past, today's Truespoke is a quality wire wheel that thousands of owners are passionate about. Please email or call us with any questions or comments.
