Moons?
Moons?
I had a buddy of mine give me a set of 15 inch moon caps that look like these? There are holes around the outside lip. How do they bolt to the rim?

Re: Moons?
You have to drill holes in the rim and use screws to hold them on. Obviously the screws can't be too long.

Re: Moons?
After you drill the three holes, you need to cut threads for short bolts . Thread pitch is your choice.
Being careful it can be done with tire still on the rim

Re: Moons?
If you want the look of moons but without drilling the holes there are wheel covers that sap on and look the same.

Re: Moons?
The price was right The caps were set up for racing lake cars and of course had to stay put at speed, thus the bolt on.HellBellyD100 wrote:I had a buddy of mine give me a set up 15 inch moon caps that look like these? There are holes around the outside lip. How do they bolt to the rim?

Re: Moons?
If it were me, I'd go down to the local salvage yard and pick out a nice set of 15" steelies that will fit the truck, drill and tap the holes required and clean them up, paint them, put on a nice set of rubber... maybe wide whites... and use them for spares when you want a different look, or put them on and leave 'em.

Re: Moons?
i had those on my 64 shorty when i first got it. cuz they look cool and are fairly cheap. now ive got a set of retro red, mettalic powder coated, 15x8 baby moon wheels on it, with the chrome caps and trim rings. a bit more money but much cooler look. but the moon caps are a timeless look and very inexpensive. you just pop em on, over whats already there.

Re: Moons?
I also like the look of a painted stock wheel with trim rings and baby moons. What depth or width trim ring do you use on a stock wheel, also what size of baby moon?
My truck is blue with a white top and white trim, it has the original hupcaps on it, but I think it would be cool to change the look a bit, kinda swap caps once in a while. It has stock wheels that are white and I think the moons and rings would really look cool.

Re: Moons?
if i can con my brother into lettin me borrow his digicam i will post some pics of my truck. dont have pics of when i had the smootie caps on though, sorry. but the rims i have are 15x8 deep dish reverse, got em from a friend for free. they were rusty chrome ones that i had blasted and powder coated the retro red.got the caps and trim rings from schucks. 205/60s on front and 235/70s on back gives a roddy type rake to it . its primer grey with a black primer bumble bee stripe that says "rust bucket " in the middle, and it always gets a laugh from people that see it.
