What do you get when you take this:

Then add it to this?


You get this!


Now I realize that this look isn't for everyone but it fits well on an old school look for these wheels. Why did I do this your might ask. Well the price of traditional spider caps is a little out of my price range ($180 for a set of four) for what it is and does and they were not made in a 5X5 pattern when I came up with this idea. Here is what I am talking about if you don't know what I mean.




Now doing this is so simple. The 3" chrome bullets have a threaded insert already on the underside and the GM center caps have a hole roughly in the center of them. You simply screw them together and you are done, don't forget the lock-tite and a star washer for good measure.
I also have a set of bullet lug nuts to add to complete the look.
There was some debate on what color to paint the rims after I did this, red, black, silver, white. I chose tan to match the woodgrain of the car, as I don't like them in any other color personally.






To finish it all off I added a slim trim ring. I don't like how most trim rings make the lip and diameter of the rim seem smaller, so I wanted the narrowest trim ring I could find, I think it worked.




Next up is to add these:



A set of homemade wide whites (thanks again Pat) 235/60R15 for the front and 255/60R15 for the rear. I can't wait to see what they are going to look like on the car. Hopefully they will turn out something similar to this photoshop rendering I did.


You can find the bullets here, you are looking for the 3" base 3" tall bullet.

You can find the trim rings here., yes they are plastic but the finish is great and they lasted 2 German winters and are still in use, somewhere.

I think that looks great with the wide whites. I was wondering what mine would look like with the wide whites. I have raised white letters, but they are on the inside, so i'd have to pay to get them broken down and remounted. so, it's probably not going to happen, maybe next time i get tires.

These are very cool, the look is great.

I do not think that there are many cars that do not look great with Wide Whites!

veryyyyyyy cool, just mad you thought of it before me. soooo , love the look.
