Spun Baby Moons? - Toyota Yaris Forums

blacksan · 04-15-2007, 03:42 AM

Has anyone tried these with factory steel wheels? I am curious what it would look like.

Nah, the Baby Moons would just cover the center/lug area of the wheel. It was popular back in the day.

brickhardmeat · 04-15-2007, 04:06 AM

Oh, like the old volkswagen hubcaps I guess? Hmmm, that's a look I haven't seen on this car.

blacksan · 04-15-2007, 04:10 AM

Thats what I am talking about! Does anyone have a lead on custom hubcap manufacturer?

churp · 04-15-2007, 08:26 AM

I've been looking for the same w/beauty rings....w/no luck. but I did find these:

...sort of the concept in a generic way (actually like the wheel color between the moon and ring better..lot cleaner look). The problem that I see is the stock wheels have no 'lumps' that a normal baby moon would attach to. I've been thinking of attaching a mount to the lugs themselves somehow...any other ideas?

blacksan · 04-15-2007, 11:26 AM

The 15" beauty rings are out there, but the Baby Moons are tough to find. I read that someone is using the mini trailer hubcaps (almost the same) as baby moons from NAPA?

graywolf_14 · 04-15-2007, 11:33 AM

ive never seen it on a yaris and hope I dont.

churp · 04-15-2007, 11:33 AM

The stock Toyota rims have no way to mount small caps (completely smooth in the dish around the lugs) like american rims do. Thats why I was looking for a way/or adapter to attach to the lugs themselves.

These are great!

churp · 04-15-2007, 10:19 PM

The ones you want are WORK wheels from Japan. Googled a few distributers here in the US but none of them carried them in stock or even listed them. One of them had a link to Work of Japan which lists these 'Leadsled" wheels. Bet they could get them....I know I can't afford them!!!

Black Yaris · 04-15-2007, 11:06 PM

I so thought Chino would be all over this one after out trip to Summit racing. We saw a set of Baby moon's in chrome 15x8 in our bolt pattern in an unknown offset.... tempting they were

churp · 04-15-2007, 11:47 PM

Thanks BlackYaris...personally don't want 8" wide but worth checking out...I was thinking of contacting Stockton wheel, they claim they'll make wheels to suit..

Black Yaris · 04-15-2007, 11:50 PM

the ones we saw were 8's but they were just a display, it was one of those wheels that came in just about every width and diameter under the sun, for those classic hot rodders, so you may still want to check them out, I seem to remember them being inexpensive

churp · 04-16-2007, 12:15 AM

Guess I'll call didn't see any on their site....of couse there's thousands of wheels on their site....did see a lot of 4 lug 4.25"/4.5" patern ....somebodies got to have 4X100 pattern.

Black Yaris · 04-16-2007, 12:34 AM

4 bolt mustangs were 4x100

jamal1984 · 04-16-2007, 05:13 PM

just checked with one of their sale representative and they said that each will weight about 22-25 lbs, i don't know is this a good idea to put it on our Yaris or not. It's kindda heavy.
