Post your moon pics here

Are there an Yarii running a full moon style hub cap like the old school salt flat racers used to? The eco-mod type people tend to run them because of the decreased turbulence caused by the spokes. I don't like the look of them... but I was thinking of trying them to boost the mpgs. Before I commit, I'd love to see pics on one.

If anyone has pictures of them on a Yaris, please post!

To give you a good idea what I'm talking about, go here:

I'm thinking about picking up a set of 14" discs for my steel wheels/snow tires. Here's a quick photoshop on my car:



I ran discs on my xB for a while, too.

Wow! Thanks for the quick photochop. I have a white 07 LB also, so this is exactly what I was looking for!!

I"m not sure I'm feeling the look for daily use, but for long drives and high mpg... maybe worth it.

Maybe I can get some large Hello Kitty decals to cover the spun SS look :)

Yea, the look is terrible. A custom paint job or some vinyl would make them more appealing.

You can buy them from the link in the first post. eBay is cheaper tho for about $80 shipped. I was hoping to find a set in spun aluminum to keep the weight down also, but they mostly have spun stainless steel.
