Default Opinions needed....

So I ditched the hubcaps, but again, I can't start the wheel hunt until I have quit smoking for at least 30 days.

I went with the chrome beauty rings over the stock wheels, but I am not sure how I want to tackle the center caps.

I am torn between the center cap and chrome lugs or just go waaaaay old school and get baby moons to cover the whole center.

Opinions, suggestions, jokes, deep hatred, all is welcome here.

I don't have pics but I have the beauty rings with chrome lugs and no center caps. I like the simple look...

Just keep looking until you see something that you really like. I went with 18 in. Kazera KZ-C's because my first 2 choices were no longer in production. Guess I got in a rush, not real happy with the ones i settled for. Best to wait and have patience ! View my box - go to my profile. Comments ?

First off there are no chrome centers for our wheels except some high priced (like 40 bucks each) used Tyota ones with holes for the lugs. Why not just save your money and just get some new wheels after your 30 days are up?

Good luck man!

The first 2 weeks are the hardest. Gets easier after that.

Hang in there!

Nothin' wrong with steelies till you decide on wheels...I think the baby moons center would be cool. Good Luck with the non-smoking endeaver!

Just QUIT already; how hard can it be -- *I* even managed to quit!!

OK, that was a little harsh.

These are the wheel covers I got, instead of going with baby moons, and I'm pretty pleased with 'em: http://www.hubcapmike.com/rdc01-15.html

Glad to hear you're gonna be another quitter, and I hope it goes well for you . . . !
