I've read in several other threads (this one too) about the hubcaps flying off. Well, it has been 2 weeks I've had my caps on and I've still got them - knock on wood :D . I live on a dirt road way out in the country that has some serious washboard and they haven't even wanted to partially come loose. Overall, I've very happy. Can't say if it made a difference for mileage but it sets it apart from all the other Metros.

At the very least, I'm sure it makes your car easier to find in the parking lot :)

Yeah its the little blue car with people touching it, pointing at it, and other similar activities.

I made mine out of the 14 inch stainless stell hubcaps from cripe distributing and the 12 inch trim rings. Took about 2 hours to cut and fit them together. I only had one made when the sun started going down so I put it on the car and got this shot of it. I will get more pics tomorrow with all 4 on it if the weather is clear. It looks real good for hubcaps that cost me about $50.

I made mine from 14" pizza pans from Wal-mart, painted white to match the color of my car and mounted with 3 screws and lock-washers (drilled and tapped holes into the wheel), so there is no chance of them departing the vehicle on a bumpy road. They cost me all of $12 for the set of 4.

This is about two years old. Its a 15" disc on a 16" rim with a trim ring. In order for me to get 16"discs I need to get the ones that attach with dzus fasteners.

I used to have them on my 1977 Dodge Monaco Police Car. If I can find any pics I'll scan them in and post. They would be about 16 years old.

Now that I see them, those mudgaurds got to be a huge source of drag... Any need for them?

Ever consider a thin bead of RTV before popping them in? Let 'em sit a while before driving ; they pry off (don't use too much!) when necessary ... flats, rotate, etc. My '86 Vette looked so cool with aero wheels! No squeeks, either.

Thanks Coyote X for the Cripe 14" discs. I bought two sets for my motorhome I just picked up a few weeks ago (only need one set but they were too cheap to pass up). Should look good as it's a GasSaver type motorhome - it's a Toyota.

So, I now have a set of the Cripes disks. The next problem is to attach them to alloy wheels without damaging the wheels -- which I'm sure I can figure out -- and with reasonable access to the valves -- which so far has me stumped. Any ideas?
