Does anyone know if anyone makes a smoothie center hubcap that fits on the stock 15" wheels. I'm looking for the kind that only cover the lugnuts... like the old school VW type.

There is one problem with that. The bulge in the wheel around the lug nuts doesn't have the protrusions to hold a small hub cap in place. Without these, the cap has nothing to hold onto.

Time to get out the welder!

I kinda figured that, but wasn't too sure... it's been awhile since I looked at a stock VW wheel.

I may go with this style smoothie hubcap to replace my 17s for the winter:

 

you could allways go with the Moon discs. salt flat style.

Those are my choice, powder-coated to match the car, but they make checking the tire pressure a real pain. They do have a nice clean look that goes well with the xB.

George, I want to see an xB with either VW Centerlines or the Flat Four BRM replicas. Too bad we have the small 4 lug, and VW uses the larger 4 lug.

 

It's like you were reading my mind cuz those salt flat speed discs are my second choice if I can't find a smoothie cap to work.

 

i had these on my astro van back in the day.

 

you can get moon disk at www.mooneyes.com click on mooneyes usa

 

you guys find some wierd products. i would never think to look for things like that.

 

you should rock a set of the Work LeadSleds!

they come in 15", 16" & 17" in bB fitments:

not my bag, but cool retro design.

 

#14 would look pretty good on an xB, but only if painted body color...

 

Those Work wheels look really sick, but all that I'm looking for is a cool looking hupcap for when I swap out my 17s for the stockers and go snowboarding. This weekend I'll take one of my stock wheels to a hot rod shop that carries smoothie or speed disc hubcaps and check to see if they fit.
Anyone know of any shops that may carry these hubcaps in the San Jose area?

 

if they snap onto the outer lip, they will fit.

 

those wheels are different. they would look really nice with a clean xB or even a xA

 

very nice! I like those! where do we get them?

 

free BUMP! no spoke=easier to clean

here's one on a Toyota Funcargo(?)

 

There's a photo of an xB with full moons @ Scion Exposed in one of my Imagestation albums:

Let's see if I can dodge the red X effect:

 

Geez, that was before I saw the other kind of "full moons" in this thread ...
