Topic: Balloon Tire Hub Caps

  Appears I have a set of wheels on my 1934 Roadster that are proving to be difficult to find center caps for. I was told they are pretty “rare”. I have three, looking for a fourth. Appreciate any help or direction

  Yeah, those wheels are after market accessory wheels known as 'General Jumbo's' and the hubcaps are as rare as hens teeth.. I'm fortunate to have a complete set of the caps on the Jumbo's I have on my '34. I have been looking for years for replacement caps to no avail- this should I happen to lose one. They're an odd size to boot. If you find a source for the caps please share....

  At one point there was someone reproducing those caps. If you are a V-8 Club member use your roster and call Doug Clem in Nevada. He has some Jumbos on his B-400 and may know of someone who may have a spare cap or who reproduced the caps. I also recall there was someone who made adapters for the wheels so you could run the '32-'35 hubcaps.
