Does anyone have a set of these on their car that they could take a few photos of? I'm thinking of getting a set to put on my 1975 Duster and would love to see what they would look like before I make the purchase.
 
On my 76 I had.

Keystones are like aftermarket factory Magnums. They look good on almost anything.

My pops has them on his 71 LeMans and like they say the look *****'n on any car.
 
They do look good, but mine were unilug with the oblong washer- I grew to despise them.
 
I thought they were always classy looking wheels. Sox and Martin used them for many years. Check out some of their photos.
 
I really like the Mag 500's from Wheel Vintigues, I placed my order for 4 wheels but they are on back order till 3/23/18. Really no hurry with 4 feet of snow on the ground but if they don't make it by spring I will be putting the Keystones on my 68 Dart. I really like the Keystones even though they are $30.00 bucks more a wheel than the Mag 500's
 
I snapped this one pre-digital camera (for me), winter 1998. I believe these were Cragar clones of Keystones but they looked the part. This was back when you could still buy Dunlop GT Qualifier tires!

Even as a teenager I never drove this car in the snow/salt. I just rolled it out to take the picture. :D

The thing that I remember about my Keystone style wheels is that even for their size, they were hernia-inducers. They sure didn't spare the steel in those castings.

As cool as they look, they're not the optimal choice for anyone who thinks about unsprung weight or rotational inertia.
 
Had Keystone Klassics on my black 73 Dart Sport. Loved them so much I plan on using them on the one I'm restoring now. Only issue is, in 15" size, they do not come in the backspacing needed to get a wider wheel. Per the manufacturer, I'll have to order a custom backspace to get what I want. Don't know the cost but I'm sure it will be up there.

Don't tell Sox and Martin that! LOL

I went through Summit to get my Keystones in a custom backspace a few years ago. If I remember correctly,, there was a $25. per wheel upcharge. They will do any size in 1/16" increments.

Good to know, thanks!

Been looking around, and all I can find for Keystone Classics is unilug bolt pattern. I just ordered a set of center caps for my 66 B-Cuda, that came with them. Its got 15x7, on the front, and 15x8 on the rear.

Better pic of my 66,with 15 inch Keystones. I found the correct centers, and lug nuts, and washers. It doesn't creak anymore when driving now. I'm not putting the chrome back on the sides, looks better without it. Now I just need to get the 360 into it.
