Customs hubcaps for 16" wheels

did a search. found out how to make 15" into 16" with trim rings. but didn't find anything on full hubcaps to fit 16" wheels. so does anyone know of a cool looking cap that i could use on 16" wheels? if not i'll be using center cap with trim ring or center spyder caps. thanks

 

Moon Discs?

 

thanks shoprat but there not gonna fit the build . spent hours looking on line. anybody??

 

I did the tech on the trim ring to 15"s. There is not much out there at all, the only ones i have seen are the Packard one.s on sloppy seconds A coupe, by they are with wire wheels I think. If you do a search (you prob have already) on e-pay you will see some for 16" that are some strange makes, but useable, the only thing i am not sure of is if they are not true 16" covers, much like the wide 5 pattern wheel covers, they dont attach to the outer lip. let us know if you find something, coz as it stands now I will be doing the 16" trim ring to 15" cap that you saw.
Good luck.

 

thanks fly looks like im doing that trim ring trick or just using caps and rings.

 

There are Caddy Sombreros that are 16", off of '48 limos. Not easy to find, but there aren't many full caps out there that look good. I read somewhere that they are repopped, though.

 

thanks chrisman the 48 limo thing is new to me. i'll check it out. so far the only hubcaps for 16" wheels i've found are the aftermarket plain chrome bubble like the hollywood flipper but without the flipper. maybe i'll make a flipper and screw it on from behind. the biggest problem i've found looking for hubcaps is that the advertised 16" caps are really for 15" wheels. so for right now it looks like trim rings and caps.

 

Hirsch Auto sell the sombreros. Way too pricey for me, but they sure would look good on your coupe. They show up on ebay now and then, though. Good luck!

 

wow $350 each + $50 for the center. yeah to pricey for me also. but maybe theres hope for used ones someday. thanks again for the headsup!!

 

Is this for your '35 in your avatar?
If so, what about something for the stock wire wheels..... Spun , Lyon, etc.

 

i'm running 5x4 1/2 ford bolt pattern. not using original wheels

 

Hollywood Hubcap Co... conical full caps - kinda like 57 Plymouth Fury but bigger as the Plyms were 14s...

Im led to believe that they are kinda hard to find hehe....

See pix

Hollywood caps , calori caps, cal-custom. Swap meets or in this case a garage sale.

 

Kinda gay though, dont you think............oh whoops is that your car

 

those moon bubble caps are the only ones i've found. i was thinking about making my own flipper bar for them.
