Does anyone have any idea where a date code could be found on vintage Kustomag Klassics? I've found everything cast in the centers so far. . .

"K-Mag", "15", "4.75", and this . . . "C-164-E" <---- Is that the date code?!

Somebody has to know this . . .

March 1st, 1964, something? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

From what I've found, the earliest ad for these was circa 1964, but I've seen that the earliest ones didn't have the centers black; they were just bare cast aluminum.

I have one and will look to see what it has on the back.
Do you have a full set?

Thanks Shaun!

I don't have a full set yet. I will be getting a pair of fronts (15x4's) to compliment the big 15x10's out back. Already have a price agreed upon by the seller and myself; just waiting for my tax refund to come in.
