i have these 15x4 Keystone magnesium wheels 4.5 bolt pattern and 2' back space i have been trying to find info on with no luck.
This is a cropped pic taken from a Hot Rod photospread where they lay out all the new speed equipment at a dragstrip and take pics. I will see if I can find it, but I don't recall much info about the wheels being mentioned.
What vintage is that "photospread" (mag/month/year)? Can you post pics of a "Sno Mag"? Same vintage?

Early to mid '70s...'72-'74 if I had to guess. I will dig through my back issues and find it.

Are you sure they are magnesium? They sure look like "bare" Sno-Mags, is there a K cast on the backside? I know they made chrome plated versions of the one-piece Sno-Mag.

Okay, here is the webpage I found the information about these wheels: http://akhwheels.com/pages/inventory.php?cat=3Apparently, they are "Nickey" wheels, not "Berger" as I previously stated. I need a set of four for my Deora replica project. I emailed the advertiser on these ones...I've been told they are out of stock. No big surprise, as they were rare to begin with.

Barris used Radir's on a lot of his cars including the Batmobile.
I just read an article (Mopar Action Oct 2011) about the 68 Dart that
was used in the t.v. series "Manix" built by Barris.
They had to replace these wheels for Crager S/S because they warped and cracked. maybe this is why you don't see much of them.
Leave it to Casey to come up with the vintage ad's. Nice Job Pink.  I love the scale Dandy Dick Landy Avatvr.
On a personal note;
I always liked the Keystone Classics as seen on Sox and Martin cars. Especially on 66&67 a&b-bodies and 66 to 68 c-bodies. They compliment the crisp body lines. Crager S/S for fuselage bodies.

yes 100% they are magnesium just like my 1965 and 1968 Hemi cross ram intakes in fact i sold them to a board member last year who picked them up in person.

Now the hard part: finding and purchasing an actual set of these wheels!
I wonder who actually made the wheels for Nickey, and if they were only available in the 5-on-4.75" bolt pattern. 
They're pretty sweet wheels.
