I can't see a depression to washers like the Keystones.

Note: I have not handle these personally, just by pics.

Noticed the washers have an offset in them. Notice on the wheels there is a very small tab in the area where the washer goes. The washer sits on top of the surface of the wheel and rotates until the offset seats against the tabs to align the wheel to the bolt pattern. Kind of a pain to install compared to correctly size bolt patterns, but not impossilbe to use.

Yep I agree . . I have a set of Cragers on the hardtop and although it is a slight pain to get them on . . . they still look great.   :2thumbs:

I noticed that but since I haven't seen personally, dunno how deep is that tab.

Keystones looks to be more easier to use and match, definitelly.

Mopar 4 1/2  bolt pattern runs the lug nut shank against the inner end of the slot. Once installed they hold the wheel snug ,no problems. I always retorque after a few miles.
The narrow part of the offset washer goes toward the hub of the wheel. The nubs on the wheel will locate it, but I hold it in the correct location by hand untill the lug nut is almost tight. My washers have" this side toward wheel" stamped on one side.
