Absolutely Red steel wheels

[dogsridewith]

That's an interesting wheel...seeing as many as three trim rings. WAG-ing, the vehicle is a Volvo 544 or 444?
I'd use just a cap on these Miata rims, but there are no obvious ways to hold them on. No bumps on the rim. No groove on outside of the wheel center hole like Toyota steelies. 13 inch Corolla's circa 1990 came with flat center caps that covered the lugs...makes cleaning the wheel easy. These Miata center caps grip the inside of the center hole. Don't want to scratch the new red paint...wheels might find there way back to a Mazda someday.

The picture I posted was from a Google Image search for "baby moon caps", but you're right, a reverse image search found the original page, and it's a 1964 Volvo 544.

I know about the Toyota caps that cover the lugs, but they're super rare. Someday, I'll design and print a set that can attach to stock Toyota steelies. I've read that you can get plastic to look sort of like chrome if you paint it gloss black first, then with a light coat of "chrome" spray paint.
