The "Mag Center" in the Keystone pic isn't magnesium, it's aluminum. To my knowledge, Keystone never made any Kustomags with mag centers.

I have seen both chrome AND polished centers. I think they were both available.

The 15x4 skinnies do have taller centers than the others. My 15x4's and 15x10's have two different center diameters, and I know both are untouched originals.

Sheradon does good work. Buddy of mine had his Spyders done there- same "Guy" in the V8Buick post. Same principle on a Keystone- cut the center off the wheel, and re-weld the center to a new rimshell.

I have a pair of 15x4 skinnies as well as a pair of 15x10's I might have narrowed to 8's. Two NOS sets of caps too.

Think I covered all the questions and helped clear some things up a bit.

P.S. The two different center paint colors were silver and black. I think everything pre-70 was silver, post-70 was black.

Didn't Keystone make a wheel called the "Rogue" that was one piece and had gray centers? I think they looked alot like the "Classics".

Yeah, that's the ones. I remember my Dad having a set on a 70 GTX when I was a kid. I remember thinking that name was something really bad and mean back then..lol

I thought this would be interesting for anyone who liked this thread or idea.

I just saw this on ebay. The first picture is a 14x7 wheel NOS and the second is 15x7 NOS. Looks like the same center used on each of these.
