I got these hubcaps for Valentine's Day for my snow tires.
Finally, when the car has salt on it, it's justified.

New Bonneville racer? Where's the flat head and Lake pipes?
Maybe roll down the windows and get some aviator goggles!

Looks like the car should be in a movie like robocop. Sort of futuristic.

The moon caps works for a winter tire package to cover the CVPI wheels. :up:

How do they attach? Or will my answer be "classified'?

Probably just like regular wheel covers.
BTW... IMHO... doesn't look too bad... for the winter anyway.

Those are "wheel covers".
A "hubcap" is technically the small cover over the center of the wheel, while a "wheel cover" is a usually a decorative metal or plastic disk that snaps or bolts onto and covers the entire face of the wheel. Cars with stamped steel wheels often use a full wheel cover that conceals the entire wheel. Cars with alloy wheels or styled steel wheels generally use smaller hubcaps, sometimes called center caps.

I think wheel cover is a newer term..possibly sometime in the 90's it was started with more use? I don't ever recall someone saying wheel cover in the 70's or 80's..it was always hubcap...maybe it was hubcap when they were still mostly made of metal and when they went to plastic it became wheel cover..

Naa, it's because I live in a city full of commies that make decisions.
I wanted to seriously do donuts in the EPA parking lot after the waver, but I didn't. Only because the ladies who gave me the pass were actually very nice to me. Maybe a little too nice. ;)

You need to get the yellow mooneye "mooneyes" sticker or decal to put on your front fender

I was going to have this made and put it on.
I think you are one of the few that know what this represents. It could not be more appropriate due to recent incidents.

Is Henry Rollins still solo or did he come back for a bit? Not only can Henry Rollins pound your face in, he'll also educate you at the same time. Dude is a freaking genius. PhD level.

Not sure, but the band got back together and put together a new album. I saw Black Flag and Flag last year, yes two Black Flag reunions. At Flag, I fought threw 20,000 people to get to the front at Riot Fest. The funny thing is a lot of people were waiting for Blink 182. So all of these Black Flag fans made the Blink 182 fans cry. We had great time. Probably the most fun I ever had at a show, ever.

The Moon discs look good Dom.
If the car was lowered it might look a little better but it looks way better than I thought they would.

I was going to use those on my winter wheels back in the day, but I couldn't find them anywhere. They would have certainly kept the crap outta the wheels. Where I used to live we had heavy snow on a normal basis. They used a 3/4 sand to 1/4 salt mix that would freeze to the inside of the wheel and cause them to be unbalanced. Car washes didn't get it off. You needed to use a hose and brush. Those caps would have worked great. Not so sure on the look though.

Within 2 days I had a police officer pull up next to me to say he liked the wheels. Heck, the car get's even more attention now and must look cool as hell when I am.... driving....
Sadly, I will remove these upon summer because I know they are not making the brakes cool any easier.
