 |
|
I found these 15 inch Full Baby Moon hub caps for my steel wheel. Wanted something different and these looked really cool. Bought them online, they were $100.00 bucks. So I finally get them only to find out they don't fit.
Turns out the steel wheels have a ridge in the middle of the wheel where the original hub caps go on to. But the new ones I got won't sit completely down on the wheel, they only sit in partially. no good to me. Called back the vendor to see if I can get a refund. I told him I tested the one hub cap and tried to bag it down somewhat. It was marred just a little and he wouldn't take them back. So now I'm stuck with these hub caps I can't use. SOL!
Anyway I'll try to post some pic, and maybe some one can come up with any ideas on how I can slap the baby's on because there really cool lookin.
Any and all comment welcome. Click on my gallery for photos! |

| you need deeper stock wheels, something 5-1/2 inch wide should work, the higher outer lip & dropped center will clear the cap... |
