baby moons dumb ?

[ohsocountry86]

i was wondering do the baby moons (i think they are called) fit on a ralley wheel like mine if so whos sells them for the cheapest thanks

[ohsocountry86]

anyone anyone buehler buehler

(ferris buehlers day off if u didnt no the little quote)

[slammed1]

For a baby moon to fit a truck ralley I think it would have to have a special center mount set up. Im sure there have been some done or tried,and WheelVintiques has a nice variety in their catalog.

[72swb_327stroker_?]

i bought a set from the goodguys swap meet at the last goodguys car show for 20 bucks for the set. do a google search, you'll find em'

[ohsocountry86]

will they fit the wheels i already have though no special clips or anything

[slammed1]

Just checked WheelVintiques center caps and they do have baby moons that say they fit Truck Ralleys.

72swb do you have any pics of yours or can you tell how yours installed?

[ohsocountry86]

here a few. do a Google search on 15" baby moon hub cabs or rims.

i think you truck would look great in the photo chop, maybe loose the trim piece???? over all it still looks good tho.

[ohsocountry86]

thanks for finding those for me but im still wondering will they go right on to the wheels i have?

[nvrsatisfied]

check this out....i just called Hubcapmike.com, and talk to mike he said that all standard steel 15" wheels will work no prob.......so if you want, look that site up and call them to see what they say. i told him i have a 72' chevy with a 15" ralley wheel and wanted to know if the piece would snap on........so givem a call.

sometimes i take my customer service job a little to far

[ohsocountry86]

awesome man thanks alot

They will not work on this type of truck rallys. There's nothing on the center of the wheel for the cap to grab onto. This has been talked about before on here.

[nvrsatisfied]

agghhh just call and give him the run down....the ones that they have will work for pre 90's and as i got into digging a little deeper.....so call some places and double check didn't know what year of rim you got.

good luck and sorry if i was of no help

later

[ohsocountry86]

alright thanks everyone i figured out i just need to get a steelie style wheel with nubs for the cap to grab onto i ended up just running to the chevy store thanks

i had to hit the search feature to find the thread i made last week, but here it is:

this should answer your questions: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ighlight=moons

And finally, a word of advice: I went to the junkyard this weekend and picked up the type of wheel you see pictured for $6/each, then paid $2.50 to have each tire removed.

I got my 5-lug steel wheels off a 1976 Oldsmobile or Cadillac. But there are a lot of trucks and vans, and even some 80's minivans that used this style of wheel you see pictured in my thread. I DO NOT KNOW if they made this type of wheel in a 6-lug!! So if you have 6-lug setup, I dunno what to tell you.

Some notes before you pay:

Measure the wheel from rim lip to lip. Mine were 16.25"
Measure from "nub" to "nub" shown in the pictures of the thread I linked above. Should be approximately 10" (plus or minus 1/8")
If 5-lug, be sure to measure for 5" bolt circle like this: http://www.easternmarine.com/em_stor...boltcircle.jpg

5-lug axle trucks used a 5-lug with 5" space. Newer 5-lug trucks like the S10 us 5-lug with 4.5", I think.

All in all, after buying some used trim rings and the wheels (with dismount), I'm out ... about $50 total, and I will probably pay $40-50 on baby moon caps unless I can manage to find some used ones somewhere cheaper (doubt it). I'll probably spend another $100 on cheap whitewall tires, just haven't figured out what size to get yet.

thanks thats what the help i was looking for from the start thanks again and thanks to everyone else for tryin

I have never seen true baby moon center caps that fit truck rallies(Ive looked). The ones that someone posted above are full baby moon hub caps. Ive seen them listed for rally wheels but ended up always being for vette style truck rally wheels. If you find some let me know. I have a couple pics that I p-chopped too back when I really wanted to do the same thing...

[harmsy]

Hey Corn...........I like that look where did you get them ?

The bottom two pics I did in photoshop. In the top pic are some moons I bought off of ebay but couldnt come up with a good way to mount them. Id still like to figure it out someday. Did you ever find any wheels for yours?...

[bad6772]

i think this could be done.....if one was to modify the wheel some....Weld some small tabs about a 1/8 inch smaller than the I.D of the baby moon...(Almost like a L bracket) to the wheel....the L bracket would have a small threaded area....then you could drill a small hole at the edge (lip) of the baby moon then just get a small screw to attach the moon....like a allen head or flush mount torx....Is this making sense to anyone but me....if i had a baby moon i could show how it could be done....It would be really easy to do I.M.O???????//

Yes I did find a set with center caps just need to find the beauty rings. ( any suggestions) I need to get them sand blasted and repainted. Thinking the color of my truck. Just thought the moons look cool.

[corn]

I thought about that but dont really want to have to look at the screws all the time. Also the thought of them not being perfectly centered & wobbling around driving down the road bugs me. Keep tossing out ideas...
