I currently have 14inch, 70's era keystone klassics on and wondering if it would be worth it to have them refinished or just find something else. I like the look of these.

They don't look too bad in the pics. Have you tried to polish them with 000 steel wool?

no over all good shape. the black has seen better days. just wondering if they are dime a dozen or worth having them refinished/restored.

Careful how much you spend on a 14" wheel. I think we're heading for a time where you'll be hard pressed to find good 14" tires. I love those Keystones though! I'd clean them up best you can and repaint the black part myself if you're going to keep them.

Keystone Classics are getting very hard to find and are pretty desirable to hot-rodders looking for nostalgic rims, personally, I'd sell them and go with a more available size like 15-16's to improve my tire choice.

Imho...I would have the black area powder coated then I would get a heavy duty buffer and some buffing compound.

Originals are hard to find, I'd redo them. Cragar repops them still, I've been considering a set for the Challenger, 15x10's and 15x4's though.
