Evidently, Moon Eyes has to go to the actual moon for their disks, because it took slightly more than 2 months to get them. But the wait is worth it. Beautiful clear coated spun aluminum that's so different from spoked alloys. Been there, done that.

If the xB looks like a cartoon car, the disks highten the effect. Box sitting on circles. :D

pix pix!!!!
hows the fitment?

I post a picture on my profile after I get the car washed. The tires are muddy right now.

They fit perfectly, nice and snug. The only downside is you have to remove them to check tire pressure.

I've running racing discs on my rig [pix in profile]

Yeah, the air valves being covered is a pain, I've also had a pair of the hubbies "grow legs" and walk away... I've been told they make great clock faces... grrrr

I still think it's a great idea, to have Moons!

Do these discs sit inside the lip of the steel wheel, or do they cover the lip?

George

Man, I gotta see this!

For now, I just pulled the caps, and sprayed the steelies with Chrysler-Daimler Cranberry to match the BCP of the car. It looks great but.....

i want some curbfeelers too to go with tha moons maybe jc whitney has them,flat black tha hood ,a megaphone tailpipe ext. and some stp decals.

just kidding,tha moons are cool! old hotrodder just raving on, want to see tha pics.

They cover the lip of the wheel exactly.
What's also cool is that they look a lot larger than 15".

I'm toying with the idea of white sidewalls. :wink:

Gotta be the WIDE white walls :mrgreen:
Are you going to get the teardrop dash knobs too? My mind's going a mile a minute now.

why didnt i think about tha lakepipes and whitewalls (maybe portawalls if you could find them). way to go folks!

bondobob

ooo, how about dummy spotlights? :D

Curb feelers and fuzzy dice will round out the package nicely. Can't wait to see pictures of the new moons. Any plans on wheel spacers and longer studs so they fill out the fenders a bit more?

Blue dots in the taillights, hood louvers and red & white tuck 'n' roll upholstery. :wink:

OK, that is what I wanted to know. After one of my salt flat discs went AWOL I was considering getting the snap-on discs, but if they are outside the rim lip they can be too easily dinged for my needs, so a new set of salt flat discs and a better mounting method is indicated.

Thanks, George

I was actually thinking of that few monts ago. I just can't figure out how did they incorporate the brakes, park, and signal light in those tear drop lights

Here is "Old Punk's" Pictures.

One word: _____IN'! 8)

What the pictures don't show is that the disks dome out about 1.5" or so. Some folks might not like that.

I like it!

Ken (NCP31) has a set also, and was going to run them while his other wheels were getting painted. I think they'll look good on any color xB. I';d like to see some whitewalls w/ those discs!

That is KILLER! Any chance you'll make it to Greensboro on the 16th? I saw some baby moons @jc whitney. I couldn't picture them on my xb. After those pics, I think I'm going to have to do it now.

Gotta be the WIDE white walls

How about these?

old punk and coldfire,
Where did you purchase your discs and how much were they?

I got mine here:

http://69.20.111.53/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=390

15-inchers are $28.00 each

I like the Moons (Old Punk's discs) better, the other ones look like the discs bow out whereas Old Punk's discs are a straight line from the edge to the point.

Actually, they're domed, too.. They just look pointed because of the brushed pattern. Sorry.

OK, the disc will make a triangular shape if you were to set it on the ground, but you're saying that two side of the "triangle" are curved? :? Hmm, then I wonder what makes yours look better (IMO). coldfire_76's look like they are brushed too, or atleast spun? :?

I need a side-by-side (or top-to-top) comparison :D

I still say coldfire_76's look like they are curved. :|


*EDIT* Old Punk, you also need to get one of those "duck foot" exhaust tips. :mrgreen:

They're just like a slice of a sphere -- totally curved -- except for the flattened lip.

Mine are actually just like the others, i guess they just look domed in the pic. They are spun as well. Got 'em off ebay from Big B Auto. about $65 shipped!!

Could you shoot a closeup of just the cap? I'd like to see how the cap fits on the lip of the wheel.

George

:?: I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE MOONEYES WHERE 'D YOU GET 'EM? PRICE? P/N? ETC CAN'T DO WHEELS RIGHT NOW ($) EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE AND AGREE WITH YOU ON CARTOON LOOK , THANKS :D

Those look REALLY good!!!

They're just the regular dealer option tail lights. However, they will soon be modified with blue dots in the middle position.

I had to put my steelie's back on (sold my Spiders and waiting for my Work wheels) and I got the Moon "SPACER" hub caps only $85, they dome out big time makes it look like a Toy... ppl dig it! 8)

Spiders, Works... :cry:

Save save save....

you can also get 15" moonhubs from jcwhitney .
just got mine in last week~

I was contemplating going with steels w/ trim rings and chrome lugs .......... but now you got me lookin at the moonies. I got the same color (TCM) box and yours looks sharp as hell with those on.

I guess I didn't contemplate too long. Went to ebay and couldn't pass them up for 49.99 + shipping.

Will be rockin' moonies shortly

Do you think those would affect the brakes? They have no cooling holes.

I imagine they would improve fuel economy though. :lol:

Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday.....I can hardly wait! That's when the moons and billet grill are supposed to arrive. I think it'll look tight together, completing an over all brushed aluminum look on my tmc box. Just added a nice black pinstripe yesterday that gave it a classy, subtle pop. I'll get some pics up when the transformation is complete. I was inspired by bluBox,s pinstripe at the Greensboro meet. Saw hot lava on my way t Asheville right after the meet. GO BOX'S

Brake heat is really only an issue if you're doing a lot of really hard braking from high speeds -- like roadracing. Normal stop-and-go driving is no problem. Remember, all cars used to have full-coverage hub caps.

hi,
for tha moons you can try speedway motors in lincoln,neb. they have snapon and screw on disc they have both flat and slight dome,the domes are to clear the dust cover on spindles of some cars. they also have other 50,s hubcaps,for tha whitewalls try coker tire in chattanooga,tn.roll ooooon,lets bring tha old days back till you get your big purchchse wheels.go for it.

OK. Who's going to be original and slap on a set of flippers? :mrgreen:

So after about two weeks with my new moon discs from Big B Auto, the wife took the xB through an automatic car wash and bent one of them. It's one of those car washes with the things that hold onto your front wheels and pull you through as it washes. Sorry for all the technical lingo.

Anyway, I'm probably going to order a new set of 4, since I'm sure this will happen again on a curb, car wash, etc. Does anyone know a safe way to remove these discs? I tried to pull them off with my bare hands like I did with the factory covers, but they're stuck. Pry bar? Screwdriver?

I use a screwdriver and just keep working my way around (like opening a paint can) until I'm sure not to bend 'em when I use my hands. I put the flat edge between the rim and cover and give the screwdriver a half turn

Here's another source for old school hubcaps.

http://www.go-kat-go.com/50sstylhub.html

On removing caps: Tire stores have a special pry tool for this task. The thing to remember is not to take too big a bite at one time. Just work your way around and the cap will come off easily.

I ordered a set of Dzus fasteners for my salt flat discs. These should work better than the previous threaded fasteners, one of which backed out resulting in the loss of a cap. Hopefully things will be together in time for the Canyon Breakfast!
