Love the full moon look..I'm trying to match some moons up with the 15" chrome wheels I have but that might prove difficult. If I need standard rims are they still made. I did read the post below about trailer wheels. Anyone make specifically for trucks or do I need to find old ones?

Well the trailer rims are almost identical to the 8 lug rims of the 80s. They have about three lobes for holding a large 12" hubcap. If you look at the trailer site, they sell a baby moon that fits. Those hubcaps would only fit on the front because the rear hubs stick out too far.

Hey longbox-

I've looked at moons for days..and I've heard of these guys..At a fast glance this is neat cause they make custom sizes..Of the standard sizes I've found..they're about a 1/4" to small on the O.D. for fastening..This new site looks encouaging. I'll cantact them tomorrow..

THANKS..

Keith

Where do I find these trailer rims mentioned above? I too have a 3/4 ton with modern (mid 70-80s) 8 hole rims and would like baby moons along with a beauty ring for the rat rod look. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Guys. Bongo
