- Thu Jul 15, 2010 6:52 pm #204774 i want to do the steelies with stainless trim ring ....however i also want to do a baby moon center cap to give the wheel an oldschool/rat rod look i cant find anything that will fit my 14" rims maybe im wrong but i dont think the honda rim will accept the baby moon center because of the wheel design. I have checked some of the vw sites cause i know this is a little more popular with them and some of those are 4x100 pattern as well but i still come up with nothing ... if anyone has done this or has any info on this please let me know. Thanks[/img]

- Fri Jul 16, 2010 2:56 am #204842 i wouldnt know were to look but i think it would be awsome i was going to do it to my s10 when i had it. i was planing on turning my civic into a rat rod but i didnt think it would look right. when you get the rings and caps you should post pics.
good luck with it

your car is your story, dont let someone else write the book.

- Fri Jul 16, 2010 7:17 am #204862 i dont think youll be able to have beauty rings and moon caps at the same time. i had black steelies with chrome rings, lugs, and the chrome honda H center caps and it looked pretty sweet

- Fri Jul 16, 2010 2:09 pm #204873 I've seen it done but only on the deep 15" steelies used on older vehicles.

those look like a "rally" rim

those look like regular steelies

another sample - betting you need the right kind of steele - deep dish

- Fri Jul 16, 2010 5:22 pm #204899 upon further research you would have to weld tabs on the steelie in order for this to work. i think im gonna just go with the stainless trim ring chrome lugs and H center cap .... i also might do some von dutch style pinstriping on the wheel too to give it the look i want

- Fri Jul 16, 2010 5:33 pm #204905 wanna see pics when done, i love the steelie look, was gonna get some 15's for my civic an get them widened

- Fri Jul 16, 2010 11:49 pm #204969 im gonna go widened as well but just not right now cause my sedan is purple and in gonna paint the steelies a cream color with a beauty ring and h center cap maybe some purple and black pinstriping ijust wanna make sure i like it befor i spend the money on a widened steelie. but i will definatly post some pics when im done
