Wheel Question - 25th Anniversary and Halibrand

[gbranham]

Afternoon, everyone!

I love the 25th Anniversary wheel, but I assume those are nearly impossible to get these days. As a next-best option, I'd like to do the Halibrands, but don't love the look of the faux-knockoff cover. If I run the Halibrands without this cover, is there a center cap available to plug the hole? Curious what that would look like, if anyone's done it.

Thanks!

Check F5 parts "Clearance", they have some of those listed, not sure if the page is up to date but worth checking

How about a 2.6875” diameter aluminum disc inserted from the back with an FFR nose badge applied…the black and polished version would look better than the full color variety I think but you get the idea. Add some chrome lug nuts and call it done.

Humm...interesting. I also just saw another thread started today...someone was looking for Halibrand center caps, and posted a picture of them. It appears they exist...it had the word 'Halibrand' etched into it, as if Halibrand made them.

I have to admit, though...now that I've seen your picture, I don't know that I like the Halibrand without the faux-spinner, but I don't like it WITH it, either. I guess I'll keep looking at wheel options. Seems like there's only a half-dozen or so wheels that are used on the FFR Roadster, and I don't love any of them, except the 25th anniversary wheel. I just looks so right...

I'll keep researching. Thanks, guys!

That center cap is for Halibrand Cobra III wheels which are no longer in production and are significantly different than the FFR rims both dimensionally and in shape.

You could spend lots of money and get basically the same thing as the anniversary wheels from Billet Specialties.
