Holy Damnit!

I just measured the wheels and they're 16.5"! I thought they were 15". :)

Measuring the gap you showed in red is roughly 9-3/4"
Measuring from nub to nub is roughly 10"

The outer lip is 1" wide and 1-3/4" tall.

The one I measured I swear had 15" tires on it, but it measured 16.5" from edge of wheel to edge of wheel? :confused:

Ya, dont figure in the lip. Measure like this, should get you closer. Ill measure the moons I have tomorrow...

shifty 03-06-2008 10:55 AM

Re: Moon caps + trim wheres - where to find?
 
I can' already tell you, the lip is ~¾" on either side, which comes out to a nice round 15" wheel. :)

Re: Moon caps + trim wheres - where to find?
 
I was going by the size on the tire initially. I had just read somewhere on here that there were some kind of van wheels that were 16.5" and 5on5 lugs, so I was like, "what?!"

I had a senior moment. :)

Boog 03-08-2008 07:24 AM

Re: Moon caps + trim wheres - where to find?
 
Ah, the van rallys. They are 6 1/2" wide x 15".
I read that 16.5 " and I'm like (tool time Tim's grunt inserted here)! welllllllllll ok? :lol:

Did those moons turn out to be 10 1/8 ???

I'm planning on putting a pair up front and it sounds like 10 1/8 is the closest avaliable size.

I'm running stock 15" steel rims up front.

This is what I had in mind..like this shot of a 3rd member that N2TRUX found on the web....I like the simple look of these.

I have a good, new set of wheels, but no rubber for them yet, so temporarily I thought I'd clean up the old stock wheels and run them for a while.

My problem is I'm not sure these are 10 !/8 inch caps, and I don't want to order the wrong stuff.

I got my stuff here:

I dont think they have moons though, more OEM stuff.

Unless these count:

Re: Moon caps + trim wheres - where to find?
 
^^^^ Yeah, those guys are great. I got a lot of parts from them during my project.

I'm hoping these will work (in 10 1/8 diameter). They're cheap.

If a guy wanted to purchase a set of wheels IDENTICAL to these (with WIDE whites), what would he ask for?

chrome reverse ?

what are the center caps called?

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1204807464

thanks!

I believe that center cap is called a bullet. Hupcap Mike's has those as well...

wow, this is the first time i've seen this thread and was surprised to see my truck. :)

this pic that DB posted looks exactly like my moons:

http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c...13_2015_949047

i know this thread is old, but if someone needs the info, i can go pop off a moon or ring and get you some measurements.

i can't provide any info on where to get them as they came with the truck. I do know the moons were made in Taiwan
