Bought these today...look like Cragar S/S but not? - 01/02/10 08:02 PM

Hey guys I bought these off craigslist today cheap and thought I could use them on something. They look almost like cragar s/s wheels but the spokes are flat not rounded like cragar. Are these keystone knockoffs or? They are built very nice and are gonna work fine but curious of make. Inner rim is corroded and I cannot see any names on them maybe after I clean them I can find something. They are 14 x 7's. Thanks. Len

P.S. cap mounting area is flat and not rimmed like cragar ss style.

I had some ET's that looked like that. Had the flat spokes instead of round.

Those aren't Appliances. different shaped spokes, and lug bosses.

I have a set of ET Keystone look-alikes that have good center caps, don't know if they are the same, but the wheels are pretty pitted.

I thought American Racing made a wheel that looked like a Crager back in the 70's. Thats what I thought these were. A lot of people ran them because they were cheaper than Cragars.
Could be wrong!!!

I cleaned them up some more and they have a date of 72 on them with a KH (kesley hayes?) then on the other spoke ET Div. Pretty well built wheels. I am not sure if the Keystones will fit but I'd try????

Keystone "Raiders" looked just like that. Rocket wheels where pretty sharp looking, even next to a Cragar, looked more trim, these ET or Raiders made the Cragars look trim.

They use the same lugnut part numbers as Mr.Lugnut (TWG) does...probably get them from there (same place I do)

Those wheels are called Diamond spokes and were made by ET wheels (as you found out on the back of the spoke). Here are some pics of a set I sold a while back (these were big dodge truck bolt pattern, same basic design though). The center caps do show up on Ebay from time to time.

Yep those are the same...except mine have recessed area for the offset unilug washers. Dam those look really nice!

ET was owned by Kelsey Hays back then.

I love E-Ts more than mostly "originals" designers. I got couple of NEW E-T "Keystone Klassic" wheels that I like more the Original Keystone. The problem is I just have been able to find two. Need two more 15x7

the diff is ALLMOST UNNOTICEABLE, but I like more these.

If somebody knows where to find the matching pair will be great

Those diamond spoke wheels look great, I love the squared spoke look! I'm running cragar knock off's as well made by allied wheel components.

I would look on ebay. ET called those wheels "Black Spokes" I had a few them that I sold a while back.
