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]

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 :thumb:

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

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

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
