I'm from "that generation" too, and it would be interesting. I'll see if I can photochop the look later tonight. Thanks to mrsingh for the 09 donor photo with bare steelies.Sorry the perspective is off, especially on the rear wheel. I lose patience at 3 a.m.!Can you even FIND 'baby moons' to fit Toyota steelies I wonder?Here's a very old thread about 'rockin the steelies' with a pic of the moon treatment on a chrome reverse from the rear-wheel-drive era -->

Moon disc hubcaps were not usually highly polished, just a spun aluminum disc that covered the full wheel. Very popular with the lakes racers and the salt-flats racers. (Still is!)And here's a current generation car with 'full moons'
