keystone Klassics rims

Probably have 1,000 keystones laying around my friends shop (and im not kidding they are everywhere!) Too bad the chrome is no good on them as they are leftovers from the 70s most have bias-ply tires on them.
 
different type of rims used ..magnums vs KEYSTONES .........

:headbang:WOW The magnum wheel is not as nice as the KEYSTONE KLASSIC ?I really think it is a preferance but i have a 73 rallye and man i have had magnums ,keystones ,welds ....cop wheels .....if i could swing it i would have 15 x8 all around chrome magnum 500 with no beauty ring ....on a 73 charger man it makes my mouth water....just saying.....
 
I had magnum 500's and now have Keystones on my R/T. Here are a few pictures with each before and during restoration.

The Keystones of "now a days" that your all showing look nothing like the originals that had a larger cap in the center.
The older original version was "the wheel" to have on a Mopar!!!
 
I understand not liking the uni-lug, i don't like them either and thats what i have now. But my next set of rims most likely will be the Key stones, even if i have to have them. I think they are one rim that looks good on almost any car.

recommend using some sort of sticky on those damn uni-lugs. they are some frustrating sons of B!@#$'s to put on

I agree, They are miserable putting on!
 
Do they still make em? Unilugs I mean...
 
Yes they still make the keystone classic,,in unilug,I just bought a set a couple months back from Summit. 15x8 and 15x10.. always did love the look of keystones. I'm running 29-12.50-15's on the front 15x8 and 29-15.50-15 on the 15x10.008.jpgcourse this shot was takin just before I pulled in back into the garage to tear it all apart to biuld a protouring so the front and rear is sitting higher than they will be.
 
UNI-LUG wheels are wheels that fit any bolt pattern...be it ford , chevy , mopar...or what have you .. instead of the wheel fitting nice and tightly on the wheel lugs....they are oval in shape and use a washer to take up the slack for that specific car. they are dangerous....sloppy fitting.... the lug nuts WILL NOT stay tight and they will break off the lug studs.....this is EXACTLY what happened to me in 1983 when i had my 1st road runner. it had keystone classics with the unilugs...i broke 4 out of the 5 studs on both rear wheels...AT THE SAME TIME......leaving the wheel being held on by only ONE stud and lug nut. ill never own another unilug wheel just because of that reason. DONT BUY THEM FOR WHAT-EVER REASON. if you have ANY kind of speakable horse power in your car,,,you are sure to eventually break studs off !:headbang: i love the look of the keystone classics...but I HATE UNILUGS!


Sox & Martin ran Keystones exclusively--I always thought it looked GREAT--especially when the fronts were being carried in the air for 30-40 feet of track.

Here's my Charger & Cuda. The wheel size are 15x10 on the rear and 15x8 on the Charger. The Cuda are 15x10 rear and 15x7 front.

my friend had them on his 73 rr and they looked awesome, pics really dont do the justice. if they came in 17x9's I'd buy them in a heart beat

These are actually ET Kustoms not Keystones Klassic... same **** in another brand. Which in fact I think like more... yes, I probably like more the ET model than the Original Keystones. I have had both side by side
