I am looking to add a set of 315s to my ride on 95 Style chrome Cobra Rs. My car is a show car and I need something that will look very close to the FRPP rims that I have now. These look close:

Does anyone know if I will be able to use the Authentic R Centre Caps that I have now? This is essential and if I can't, I will have to stick with the 285s that I have now.

Anyone with info. or who is running the combo of Authentic Rs with clones, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks.

May be hard to see in the pic, but I have 10.5 AFS in the rear with genuine Ford R caps. The front wheels are ford 9" rims.

My front wheels are replicas and my rears are from FRPP (long story involving a twisty road near a park, a duck, and the curb... one wheel ended up in two pieces, one with a spoke peeled back form the outside of the wheel but no damage to suspension etc. ), i ordered two extra authentic R center caps as well and they popped right into the replicas. Should be fine.

So, I guess I am to assume that AFS is the brand to go with? What does the acronym AFS stand for? Do they have a website?

That is definitely one sick looking car! Nice work!

The color is a very good match. The wheel lip area is slightly different, but you would have to look close to see.

Hey Stone, how did you get the 2-tone color on your R's? I want that on my Zinc!

Was there any modification of the centre caps needed to fit or did they just pop right in?

Also, is there any place on the net to buy the real Cobra R caps? I would like to keep my caps but yet I would like real caps on my 2 rims when I sell them as well.
