    I'm looking for a pair of Keystone Klassic wheels that look like the ones in the pic. Looking for 15 x 6 or 15 x 7 with 4 3/4 bolt circle.
    Any leads would be appreciated - thanks!

    How are they different (other than the centercap) than the new Keystone Klassics you can get from Crager now?

    Hi Jim,

    The spoke designs are different. In what I call the "original" or "old' style Klassics, the spokes are separate. Keystone updated the design sometime in the early seventies (I think) and if you look at the pic you posted, there is a "rib" that connects the spokes together.

    I think all the 15 x 4 Klassics had the design in the photo I posted. At one time all the 15 x 10 wheels had that too, but I think they changed those to the newer style.

    Ok, I see. I am going to order a set of 15X7 Klassics for my blue 70 Stage 1.

    BTW, did the Judge in Two Lane Blacktop have Klassics on it?

    NJBuickRacer I'd rather be racing...

    JerseySky66 has a set he's selling, saw them at his house. Maybe the ones you're looking for?

    There is another Keystone wheel that is different than the two pics posted.Cragar bought Keystone years ago and made a Keystone specialty wheel that only fits Cragar center caps which I believe are 3 1/8" diameter.I have a set of 4 of these,take a look at the difference.

    Jim,
    You are correct! Those are the wheels I'm looking for. See pic.

    Artie and Joe, those are the newer style Klassics - I'm still looking for the early style.
    Tom brings a up a good catch. I believe there are two updated wheel designs, each having a different center to fit different cap styles. Tom, the pic you posted looks like it uses the same center as the ones I'm looking for.
