those are moon disk,

I've never heard the term full moon hub caps... what is it you are looking for?

**special-K** · 11-03-2007, 06:22 AM

Four months worth of hubcaps.

Longhorn Man · 11-03-2007, 06:31 AM

after re-reading your post... I think you are looking for the rat rod or old school look.
BABY moon hubcaps, also known as poverty caps and dog dish hub caps, look like this;

As seen on this kick @ss old school V-Dub, which can be found on http://www.oldbug.com/dragn.htm .
There are factory style dog dish caps, but I don't think that'swhat you are interested in. You want smoothies like on the VW above, right?

**special-K** · 11-03-2007, 07:14 AM

I think he want`s the Bonneville-style "Moon Discs" as they were also refered to as.I never did like that look.They were about function/aerodynamics.

Nice Volks Rod you found !!!

Longhorn Man · 11-03-2007, 04:36 PM

I knew you'd like it man...I did a google photo on baby moon hubcaps, and this came up... had to do it!

PETEM1957 · 11-03-2007, 08:05 PM

Do a search on e-bay for custom hub caps and they will be there. They are full wheel covers and look pretty cool to me. I'd like to see a set on a ratrod pickup!

**Boog** · 11-03-2007, 10:08 PM

Something like that? JC Whitney probably has it..

bent · 11-03-2007, 10:16 PM

ofna man the best thing i could tell you is start with a =street rodder mag and go from there man. If its the saltflat type wheel then just do a googe search for saltflat and see what you cojme up with

ofnaman · 11-03-2007, 10:28 PM

I have found some for sale pretty cheap, but I wanted to see what they would look like on one of our trucks. I cannot locate any pics of them in any street rod mag I have seen.

bent · 11-03-2007, 10:33 PM

If you can get the owner to take a decent straight shot of them and get me a strait shot of the side of youre truck i can show you what they will look like.

I posted about that mag thinking maybe y0ou could find a manuafacturer that produces these.

Any how goodluck to you

PETEM1957 · 11-03-2007, 10:56 PM

Here is a pic.

**special-K** · 11-04-2007, 07:35 AM

That`s a repro Desoto cap w/o the logo.The Moon Discs are made from aluminum and have a machined surface,not chrome.I thought you wanted those.I was goping to say check with Moon.That cap is simular to a baby moon/trim ring in one piece.I like the look...just on a 10 or more years earlier vehicle.
