    I sure do like the look of full discs & painted rims with wide whites.
    What is the best source for full disc caps.
    I've seen a few in swap meets but they are always beat to shit & way to much $.

    they are, like all old car parts, where you find them.
    if you want nice originals then be prepared to pay what they are worth.

    I'm not looking for a deal, I would pay up for a nice set.
    My point is I can't find anything nice let alone a set of them.
    Is there a company that reproduces these?
    I would rather have a nice set of repops, than pay anything for a hammered out set of originals.

    United Pacific & other companys have been making repro caps for over 30 year now.
    Have a look at Moon's website as they have a variety on there
    http://www.mooneyesusa.com/category-s/212.htm
    Hope this helps

    When you said "moon" style disc", I had in mind bonneville style covers.
    Speedway also has a great selection.
    Thanks!

    Before Spinners, there were Sombreros and Full Moons like this, that was the deal in L.A. in the 40's and early 50's

    bringing this thread back up,
    I think I've settled on a wheel cover and tire combo
    going with L78-15 and 5.60-15 tires with '53-'54 Olds covers.. for now anyway :)
