NO HUBCENTRIC RINGS FOR KEYSTONE KLASSICS

[Weldguy]

I realized today why I haven't been able to find hubcentric rings for my Keystone Klassic wheels on my '70 Challenger.
The center hole of the wheel doesn't come in contact with the brake drum, so the hubcentric ring would need to be very wide. Since they are usually pretty thin, I'm sure they would be easily bent while trying to attach the wheel. So, we're doomed to fight putting these wheels on.

Those are unilug washers used on the front of the wheel. Those wheels are not Hubcentric wheels. Most of the aftermarket wheels are like that. (not hub centric)

Right, I know how they are mounted. I was commenting on how hard it is to deal with them with the "washers." Putting them on is always a hassle. Hubcentric rings would help a lot, but the way the back of the wheel is made makes that mostly impossible.

That's the nature of the beast (aftermarket mag wheels) We've all had to deal with it. It just is what it is. If you've ever worked at a tire shop you deal with it a lot more than most!

I have toyed with the idea of cleaning up both mating surfaces and epoxying the "washers" to the wheels.

If you were to make a pattern, perhaps you could have them 3D printed.

I'm not sure printed ones would be able to handle the heat from the brake drums.

For my American racing 200s wheels, I had my machinist spin up a set.
They were nearly 3/8" thick .
Your wheel looks like you might need a 1/2" to get to the axle pilot.
Once I had rings to center, then I used long studs and nuts to avoid having to rely on thinwall mag lugs.

The reason there are no hub centric rings is because they didn't use them when those wheels were made.
Those are some old wheels you have there.
Look like 1970's manufacture.
