**ChiefRocka** · 08-26-2008, 10:15 AM

My buddy Rich brought over some 15" rings for the Chief....he was actually running these on his 'rat-rod' Civic.

Looks ok, but I wonder if I could find a cap that'll work with the six-lug ??

These wheels had the S-10 style dish caps, that grab on the outside.

Any idears ??

Hey John howz it ?
Try Davids Rally on Alum Rock. Thats were I got mine ,The truck is looking good .

Joey~AP · 08-26-2008, 01:03 PM

Your truck is one of my favorites......but I like it better w/o the rings.

No offense!

jonzcustomshop · 08-26-2008, 02:28 PM

go to moon equipped and get some bullets that would press through the center hole, it would be a poormans spidercap.

jchav62 · 08-26-2008, 03:37 PM

I like it the way it is. Beauty rings and chrome lug nuts look good. I agree with jon, bullets would look nice too...

original_balzer · 08-26-2008, 07:25 PM

Hub hole bullets FTW! dont hide those 6 lugs

**slepysal** · 08-26-2008, 07:41 PM

John ,you can get "bullet" lug nuts along with a bullet cap to complete the "poor man's" spider cap look
I like the red wheel open look too.
my dos centavos (2 cents )

I had a set of rallies, not stock steel but 6 lug on my last C10. I used a set of bullet caps. Give StocktonWheel a call to see if these will fit. Good Luck on yer hunt.

TimE · 08-26-2008, 09:25 PM

I have to agree that the bullet caps would set it off with the trim rings on it.

TimE · 08-26-2008, 09:35 PM

Sorry, but I've gotta ask--what exactly is a rat rod Civic?

HA HA HA I was thinking the same thing!

**ChiefRocka** · 08-27-2008, 09:59 AM

After I installed the rings....I have to be honest and say I like it without the rings. Mabey, I was used to it, bu t you can see more red I guess.

I agree, I don't want to cover the lugs either. Mabey some longer pointed lugs.

Sal, I'm doing good man....

My buddy has a Black Civic in which he painted the rims red, added some porta-walls, and give it some mild stripes....kinda cool, I guess.

**slepysal** · 08-27-2008, 03:27 PM

Yea that sounds like Rich !!!

**ChiefRocka** · 08-29-2008, 09:35 AM

I just threw up in my mouth a lil bit! guh! Dont know if its cause I actually used to race touring cars proffesionally with a Honda hatchback and or just cause I hate cheesy antics....but that was just wrong! lol.

70c-10 · 09-04-2008, 08:24 PM

Did you buy any bullet caps yet? I'm looking for some too:

I would also like to find some 17" beauty rings

**ChiefRocka** · 09-04-2008, 08:52 PM

Not yet...cool truck, why dont you start a thread......

tiggamonsta · 09-04-2008, 11:04 PM

Before you call that civic a ratrod you need to at least dull the paint.

I'm headed out to Hubcap Mikes later today. Only bout 10 miles from me. Will be grabbin 36 (40 actually - sold in packs of 5) of the bullet lug nuts for my 8-lugger rig. Will see what for bullet caps they have available for you 1/2 ton guys.

Are you guy are lookin for push through caps or???

btw, here are a few links I found when searchin for push through caps/bullet for my rig:

http://www.wirthscustomauto.com/bullets.html

http://www.go-kat-go.com/larsteelchro.html

Bullets on a 8 lugger would require a mod of a push throught pre 86' - 4.9" diameter cap and a welded on 4.75" diameter bullet cap. I drafter this into AutoCAD and came up with a pretty neat but large bullet. Other mods such as shortening the push throught cap at the base would be required. Still debating on if its really worth the effort...

Will post what I find out a from hubcap mikes later today.

sixtyfour · 09-24-2008, 10:45 AM

I think I found what we need at MoonEyes, the base is 3.5" push through cap. I ordered one to see if it would work, I'll report back once I get it.
