Who makes the FFR halibrands?
I have seen many different manufactures of bolt on hallibrands.
My last set were from PS engineering if i recall correctly.
Im looking for an authentic appearance.
Also, can you fit a 15X10" wheel on a MKIII?

FFR has them made for them. They are excellent quality. I haven't had any issues with all the sets I have installed.

I'm sure there are companies who've done it (made a 15" x 10" wide wheel fit) but you may be forced to compromise in some way to get it to fit properly. I Have FFR's 15" x 9.0" wide Halibrand replicas on my car right now. My brakes are ever so slightly larger than Mustang Cobra (11.65" rotor) brakes and I can tell you I have zero wiggle room in terms of fit/tolerance inside the wheel. The 9" wheels fit a 275 or 295 section width tire just fine and I'm sure it could be done with a 10" wheel as well but getting something that truly fits; clears the brake package, doesn't cause tire rub and provides the kind of tire bulge/authentic appearance you are looking for is a mystic art. If your prepared to accept a basic rear brake package (or designed to fit aftermarket setup) you will have more options. You can use the dimensions FFR provides on their web page as a guide for determining what offset will work but Richard Oben at North Racecars is a true expert and will have all the answers you seek.
