Moon Hub Caps & Wheel Skirts

[jBubb]

I'm looking to buy some 13 inch moon hub caps and ran across these....

Will these work? Or are there better ones out there? Also looking to buy some wheel skirts. Does anyone on here make them and sell them?

Found these

Look a bit more aerodynamic then the first set I posted.

What do you all think?

Another one....

JC whitney also has the moon hub caps, but they're really all practically the same, so just get them where they're the cheapest.
As for wheel skirts, I don't belive anyone makes them to sell. It's kind of a DIY project at this point, though it can't hurt to ask around I suppose.

JC whitney sells some wheelcover sideskirts, but I think they're limited to older cars...and I'm not sure if they sell them any more.

If worse comes to worse, I'll try and make my own.

I'm more of a computer geek, then a automotive expert tho. I have very few tools too.

Trying to learn and change all this!

Home depot sells side skirts for your car. It's in the building materials isle. For some reason they call it aluminum flashing, lol.

But seriously, the aluminum flashing and some tin snips and a long straight edge to bend against will work slick for making your own aero skirts.

Awesome!

Will look into that this weekend.

Thanks!

I *think* you have to mount these with screws, so you have to drill into your wheel. The other ones you posted have little teeth that allow you to pop them in and out of your steel wheel, so they don't work with alloys.

I had the pop-in kind. If you look on e-bay, there was a place selling 4 for $30. If you use the "Search The Forums" option, you should be able to find the thread. I paid $120 for a set of four way back in 1998.

There's just something about the recessed lip on the others that I just don't care for.

are there any type of hubcaps that work w/ the civic VX alloy rims? (I like the look of the rims, but if I can squeeze out a little more FE, I don't mind covering them w/ moon hubcaps.

thanks!

I think you would be better off getting some honda insight rims, they are going to be 14" insted of 13", but the stock insight tires are low rolling resistance 165/60 R14, or something like that, same width tires as stock VX tires, same weight rims, and they are semi-disk style wheels, where if you put disk hub caps on VX rims, you would still have the egg beater affect of the spokes on the back side of the wheel, because after all areodinamics is more then just what you can see.
