Very tempted to get these smoothie rings for my Ghia. But was wondering which moon hubcaps fit the 4 lug wheels?
Once I had tried my friend's 5 lug moon hubs and they seemed to fit on a 4 lug wheel but have not driven the car so I cant tell whether they would have come off or not.
Have also seen moon hubs purposely made for 4 lug wheels. Dont know the difference in dimension but they seem to have a thicker edge....

I'm not sure how the smoothie wheel is accomplished on this particular '68 Ghia... but it looks good.
Car was posted to the classifieds today.
