When I was a teenager in the 70's, my neighbor had a blue Mach 1 Mustang with these keystone wheels. I always liked them.

Keystone's have always been my favorite . I used to buy them for my cars back in the 60's and fortunately they haven't changed except for the price . They were only around $60.00 back then .

I found these at Summit Racing. $190 apiece. The tires are P235/60 R15. From what I understand Crager bought out Keystone a few years back. Now these rims are called Crager Keystone Klassics.

The washers will need to be replaced every time you pull the wheel because they warp after being torqued. I don't want this to happen to you so please check your lugs before you go any where.

Aluminum wheels are just different than steel wheels .
