[PP1RT]

Anyone running them anymore? They have always been one of my favorites but seldom see them anymore...

 

[super-bee_ski]

They are my FAVs
I'm not running them on any of my cars
Great look
I can almost see the Magnum 500s in them

Take a word of advice from 1 screwed dude ! Carlstar just moved their manufacturing facility from cali to s carolina. Make certain who ever you buy them from has ALL of them in stock.
I ordered 2 , 15x8's. And 2 15x10's through jeggs at the beginning of june. They sent the 10's right away. ,,,,,,,Still, waiting on 8's. Ugh.

 

[super-bee_ski]

Ha!
Wow, that sucks
Make sure you send in pics mounted on the car
I miss that area
I'm in whacky CA
Working with the Vampires here at Edwards AFB tonight and all next week

They are my favorite too. Owned by Crager now. Got mine through Summit, they can order custom backspacing directly from the factory.

Here's my Challenger back in the day with Keystone's.

Nobody can get them, custom ordered or standard fare, until carlstar are up and running mid September-mid October. Unless someone has actual stock of them, they are back ordered. Jegs and everywhere else that sells them are ALL at the mercy of the vendor.

I have them on my 63 fury always liked those wheels

 

[Ghostrider 67]

I used to have a set on a 1971 Ford Galaxy 500.

 

[Bruzilla]

I always liked them in the 80s, but they had a reputation for being the wheel of choice for the inner city and if you didn't also have curb feelers on the car the KKs just didn't look right. I always wanted a set of Klassics but then the Ralleys just became what my eye got used to.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I kind of like slotted mags. You don't see them very often.

 

[dave dodge]

Been running since I put my first hot rod together in 1974. It was a 62 Plymouth with a 383 4 speed, 4 tires with keystones cost 347.00.which was more then the car cost me! All my friends were running cragar SS wheels back then. This is what I still like today.

I have been emailing with David Slade, the customer service mgr of Carlstar's new mfg plant in S Carolina, for weeks. The plant is now in operation. And wheels are being sent from sCarolina to their dist facility in cali.

Keystone Kustomag/Klassic

In 1964 auto parts distributor Keystone introduced another composite-wheel variation with five-scooped edge spokes that tapered and rose dramatically toward the center of the rim. Christened the Kustomag, the wheel proved incredibly popular from the start.

<img src="http://st.hotrod.com/uploads/sites/21/2013/12/kustomag-scooped-edges-wheel.jpg" alt="The Kustomag and Klassic have one thing in common: the trademark scooped-edge spokes that rise dramatically to the center cap. However, the Kustomag differs in one way: The spokes remain independent of each other." class="wp-image-480839">

Though initially quite popular, the Kustomag didn’t enjoy the same lifespan as Cragar’s Super Sport wheel. It returned a number of times, each bearing a subtle variation or name change.

Like most vintage designs the Kustomag is enjoying a modest reprise. Now produced by Carlisle Brake and Friction, the same company that produces Cragar, the Keystone Kustomag is back as the similar 32-series Klassic.

Wow - car nut...your Challenger and mine were the same color and I had put Keystone's on mine dropping the factory caps soon after buying mine (was a demo with 4,000 mi when I got it). I eventually went radials a few years later finding a set of Magnums and my brother wasted no time scarfing my Keystone's over to his Ranchero. I think he stills owes me the cash for them! There aren't many wheels that light my fire; but Keystone's were always among my choice.
