Knock it off, Will Ya!: BRS Wheel Spinners

Once I rolled the FFR Roadster out in the sun for the first time, the family stood there (along with a few neighbors) just taking in how low the car sites, how wide the rear tires are, and so on. I was explaining to a neighbor why we chose the AmericanMuscle FR500s when he asked, “Didn’t the originals use knock-off?” Well, the sure did, and while real knock-offs are still available, the DOT tends to frown on their use on public streets, hence our five lug wheels. But the gears between my ears started meshing, and I wondered why can’t we have simulated knock-offs on these wheels?

After a bit of research, I found BRS Parts, manufacturer of real metal wheel-spinner center caps for late model Ford wheels. Even though our FR500 center caps were a different size, BRS offered to see if its kit would work with some minor tweaking. After shipping off a center cap assembly to BRS, I got back for chrome tri-bar knock-off center caps and their installation hardware. These replica knock-offs/spinners/center caps (whatever you want to call them) are the perfect touch, and are available for most any late-model Mustang wheel (Bullitt, Cobra R, Mach 1, and so on).
