Question on rims

[middleagecrisis]

Friend of a friend is selling these rims and I was curious if anybody had seen these type before. These are his words: "the wheels there are kelsey hays 5 spoke mags "kelstar mag" It's aluminum center and steel outer 2 piece wheels. The center caps have E T on them,my friends brother had them on a 70 corvette". I've never heard of Kelsey-Hays mags, is this some sort of factory corvette option? Thanks in advance for any info.

I think these rims came out in the 80's ,just another aftermarket rim , they don't look too bad , though, DC

E-T was one of the big aftermarket wheel manufacturers back in the 70s along with Cragar and Keystone. E-T made just about every aftermarket wheel style available at that time. They made the deep dish slotted aluminum wheels, the 5 spoked style similar to the Torque Thrust wheel, and about every other style.
Kelsey Hayes was the manufacturer that made most of the GM factory wheels for GM, and some of the other manufacturers too. I don't know if they sold aftermarket wheels direct to the consumer.

I'm looking for some Weld Draglites for my Camaro and came across these for cheap. Not really the look I was going for, but thought I could turn them if they were worth anything. Thanks for the input!
