Team,

Needed to use some 1" adapters to fit these 15 x 7 Eagle Alloy wheels on my '79...new front tires and the rebuilt rear = smooth and improved control. Alignment shop next on the agenda.

Lovin' every minute of it!

Beat old keystone...bad


New polished aluminum...good

Isn't it hard to get those clear headlight doors to pop up with screws through them?

Great wheels

That's a nice improvement. Those Keystones weren't all bad back in their day either. My brother managed to make his 74 Torino look half presentable with a set of those.

Yep. Keystone Classics. Unilug bolt patterns. Very old school but they were definitely a good looking wheel in their days. I had a set on a ride once too.
