Center Line Wheels Latest Designs Inspire a New Generation

Irvine, CA, April 18, 2024 — Just released, the legendary aftermarket wheels company Center Line launches long-awaited new styles nationwide.

Center Line Wheels is stepping back into the limelight after taking some time to painstakingly develop the latest wheels of their collection, the REV 2.0 (a modern take on a vintage look) and TELSTAR 2.0 (with elegant five-spoke design). These highly anticipated wheels have already gained popularity with muscle cars and hot rod enthusiasts.

An exciting finish choice for these fresh designs – and Center Line’s popular CONVO PRO 2.0 and AUTO DRAG 2.0 wheels – is the game-changing addition to their lineup: the all-new Satin Black finish – available for all styles in all sizes.

What makes Center Line Wheels so desirable? It all began in 1970, in the heart of California’s fertile ground of hot rod culture, amidst the roar of engines and the scent of burning rubber, that the Center Line Wheels company was born. With meticulous attention to detail and a relentless pursuit of perfection, Center Line Wheels quickly gained a reputation for producing wheels of unparalleled quality and distinctiveness.

The CONVO PRO 2.0 (with convo lip, a Center Line trait), AUTO DRAG 2.0 (a fan favorite), and new REV 2.0 and TELSTAR 2.0 styles are all constructed from two-pieces – forged bottom and aluminum stamped lip – for optimum versatility. Crafted with other advanced techniques such as deep-drawn stamping and precision milling, the modernizations significantly improve the load rating of all the wheels, while still keeping true to the Center Line aesthetics.

From the streets to the tracks, the legend of Center Line carries on, its wheels spinning tales of innovation, reliability, and the enduring spirit of automotive adventure. The Legend Lives.
