Ronal Firehawk wheel emblems Q

What are Y'all using for the center cap emblems? I looked at E-buy and didn't see much at all did the real hawks get the bird emblems? these have the SLP and I'd be fine with either

If you look on youtube, the motor week review of the firehawk, there's a close up of the rims at 1:40... looks liek they had the word firehawk and what looks like a landing hawk in the background on the emblem.

The prototype had a silver background with black lettering.red cars had red background with black lettering ​​​​​​​the other color cars just had the solid body color of the car they were on.

I think the SLP center you have looks pretty darn good in comparison to what was actually on some of the cars

Re: Ronal Firehawk wheel emblems Q


These used to be all over ebay, but you're right, there's not much listed at the moment.


These seem to be available, but they're full center caps for late 4thgen Firehawks, I believe.


There was also this type for early 4thgen Firehawk wheels, which were, what, those ROH wheels in another current thread? They look like they might fit 3rgen Firehawk wheels. A search will return a 10-year-old link to a sale for a set on LS Tech, with no replies or confirmation that they've been sold. They probably have been sold, but you never know...

But since your car isn't a Firehawk, why not use the emblem Hawk's sells for them? It will look nice.

these look OK but caps wont fly

Re: Ronal Firehawk wheel emblems Q

How about a custom emblem? Your design, your size.
Online shop 3D wheel center caps (3dcarstickers.com)

Or somewhat of a semi-custom emblem from the vendor below. You pick from the logos/designs and colors he offers, then he'll make your emblems in the size you want. Thick clear resin topcoat called LiquiDome gives them depth, like a factory style finish. For example, I had these emblems made for the center caps of my aftermarket wheels.
