Hi all, I'm new to the forum and to Mustangs. I just bought myself a 1970 Mach 1 thats been sitting in a field for the last 10 years, so you can guess there's lots to replace. First question I have is:
Are these Magnum 500's or a cheap copy?


and anyone know what these are?

 

The top one is a VERY old Keystone. The bottom one may be a factory style wheel off of about a 78 Granada/Monarch/Versailles ? Take it off and look at the back surfaces to see if you can find any identifying marks. Either way, neither of those wheels is a Magnum 500.

Sorry, Dean

 

The top looks like an old Keystone. The second some type of old aftermarket type. I don't think either is a Ford rim.

 

Was just wondering if they were worth restoring. I prefer Slot Mags (if I can find some), will probably search for a set. The car isn't going to be anywhere near road worthy for another few months.

The fronts have locking nuts on them. Looking into the future I see a problem as it didn't come with the key.

 

Vice grips and a hammer. It's easy to replace a broken stud.

 

As others have mentioned, the first is old Keystone, the second is late 70's to late 80's Superior mesh wheel. Others made similar wheels... Appliance, BBS, etc.

 

I doubt anybody cares, but as a Cliff Clavin moment I must say that those Keystones were a VERY popular wheel back in the late sixties early seventies.
