    Great idea. I don't think you'll have a problem selling those.

    Those will sell, all right. I couldn't find anything like this, so I decided to build my own - got as far as mocking them up before I got sidetracked. Yours look better than mine, though.

    How soon can we get them?

    Now watch the price of multi lug wheels skyrocket...Excellent product
     
  6. Great idea Jimmy.

    Is the chrome ring necessary? What do they look like without the chrome ring installed?

    I have a great idea why don't the wheel companies make them with 5 holes like they used to...This is a great band-aid though I'll take a set of 4

    Great idea. I have wanted to run spiders but did not because of the extra holes.

    I also would like to know if you have to run the small chrome ring and what it looks like without it.

    Further proof that some of the best ideas are also the simplest...

    Chrome insert, with the ring on painted wheels will rule.

    very cool indeed
     
  15. If you make them in the 5" pattern for the big GM cars/trucks I'll bet you will not be able to keep them on the shelf!

    I had been looking for 5"spiders forever and then I gave up and started looking for chrome rims at a decent price all I found were the 5 and 5 1/2" multi lugs so I got fed up and left the stock hubcaps on the car! After talking to few of us with the old big BP cars I found the frustration was universal amongst all of us.

    I could see tig welding cones on a set and then having them chromed.

    Like Ryan said, this is a brilliant idea - you better get going on your patent immediately!!!

    Will you be doing a 5on5and1/2 pattern?

    I think it's a great new product. I don't know what it takes to make them but if they were stamped out this kind of thing came to mind. I could think of others too.
    I hope you don't mind me using your pic. Something I did in Photoshop.

    They are great the way they are too.

    They'd look good in chrome on painted wheels, or painted on chrome wheels.

    Let's see a picture without the inner trim ring.

    I am in, send me 8, 2 sets each of - 5x4.5 and 5x4.75.

    This is one of those 'duh, why didn't I think of that' products. Which means you will sell them by the truck load... great idea.
