Firestone Air Balloon Wheels and Hubcaps

[Bored&Stroked]

When I was in my teens, my Uncle and I went through a junkyard in South Dakota and I found 3 Firestone bent-spoke, adjustable wire wheels. I wasn't sure as to what they were, but I liked the bent and adjustable spokes. They were also a bit different in that they had a snap-ring on the outside - like many truck wheel/tires. I've carted those dang things around for 40+ years - never having seen a '4th wheel' to buy . . .

Anyway, fast forward 40 years and I managed to find a fourth one of these - which completes the set. What I'd love to find is a set of the original Air Balloon hubcaps. If any of you guys happen to know anybody who has a set, would absolutely love to run these rims on my 32.

Here is a picture of a restored set on a 32 roadster that was recently built by Brizo - called the 'Firestone Roadster'. Not sure where he found the hubcaps - maybe from Don Orosco . . .

Would appreciate any help or leads that any of you might have . . .
