Default Re: Cutting up vintage mag wheels to get what you want

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.
