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.

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.

Well, the basic wheel was made then but the chrome one we know and love was later....the Kustomag would be hard to find today...

You had your car painted with wrinkle paint?

 

[POMONAMISSEL]

had a reaction to a paint job like that , outside cured before the inside did . and wrinkled it all over . damm those new matl's . sanded it off and squirted it again . yes off because it didn't hang on , and it would blister and peal later now . you know after the cars all together again . nows the best time believe it or not . for finish failure . you can wish it didn't happen , but deal with it right because it did . painted n cleared this one twice . never use transtar again .

No. I had my car painted by someone too stupid to add hardener to the 1st coat of clear. And not enough ethics to fix it.
