    I've had these wheels sitting around for a while and was going to toss them for spring cleaning. Then, I thought, maybe I should ask first? I know the centers are offshore ****, but the smaller wheels are really solid and the centers of the bigger ones seem like they're cast. Any help on ID and whether i should hang on to them is appreciated-I have no clue.

    The one with the tire on it is a Keystone wheel, no big treasure.

    Yea it looks like a Keystone Cl***ic and the first one just looks like a "blade" style from the late 80's early 90's.

    The sawblade is junk (my opinion) but the Keystone Cl***ic is kinda cool in that 70's kind of way! peace

    If they are all cast aluminum they will bring a few bucks at the aluminum recycle shop. I think I got better than 10 bucks each off some ugly ones that were on my Dodge van.

    The keystone would make a nice hose rack though.

    The rust looks pretty bad on the keystones.

    But the old bias tires are worth hanging on to. They don't explode after 5 years like radials do....and somewhere, there's a 72 camaro that needs them for it's proper 80s style restoration

    ditto. Keep the Keystones, use them on a trailer or welding cart. Send the fugly sawblades to the s****.

    I'd need a full disc Moon hubcap to cover up this ugly center to use this as a hose rack in my garage. They make me nauseous.

    I gotta say it, but I love the keystones. Remind me of a couple of old cars around my hometown growing up. Still love the look.

    The keystones could be ok with some water S.O.S. pads and some bleach white on the tires, if only to hang or sit in the garage.
    The others could come in handy with a couple old tires knocked on em if ya just needed some rollers on a project,otherwise they would be on a load of junk headed to the s****per as high as it is now.

    It not the style of wheels you would put on anything on this forum but the bolt pattern is what would be important in my opinion. I know I have had to look for roll around wheels before.
    Hell I'm running ranger wheels on mine till after paint.

  19. Being a senior in '69; seems to me those Keystones were out by then, but that just makes them muscle car stuff.
