Those hubcaps are cool. Where'd you get them?

Unless you're racing or driving in the mountains a lot, I doubt that brake cooling is a big problem. You're not supposed to be using the brakes, anyway!

Extremely cool! I've always been a big fan of the Bonneville Salt Flats and speed records, and these things bring back a lot of memories.

But tell me, $85 each, or for a set of four? TIA - Pat

Actually the ones to fit 13" front wheel drive hubs are $95.

It actually looks like the ones Todd has are machined aluminum, not the chromed alloy on the website.

I'm still waiting to hear back from him if the ones on his car are actually the same 13" FR wheels on the mooneyes site. But if I had the choice I would take machined aluminum over chromed alloy! For weight and probably price.

Nice find Kevin, One thing to remember, you can't use the pop-on style on FWD wheels. They don't have a lip at the bead like a steel RWD wheel.
