Sure,

eBay does. These ones I know look good, but simply do a search on moon hub caps and see what else is on offer.

Baby Moon Hub Caps eBay

Hi there, my wheels are 14inches. I do not own the stock wheels or I would be using them for sure! Anyone have a set of these 14in moons they would be willing to sell and ship to me before the 25th?

Hey there, nice two door.

I got my whitewalls done, basically a giant grinding disc (attached to the grinder at the bottom of the first picture) on a jig, carved a shallow strip around the tyre and then paint applied within that strip. Old tyres work really, really well. They hold the paint much better than new tyres. Here are some pics:

There are a few more images in my profile.

Why don;t you go back to stock wheels and hubcaps?

There are also 'baby moon discs' (hubcaps similar to the original) to suit 13 and 14 inch wheels. What size are your wheels?

That's a fantastic idea!
I think I can purchase Nissan Centers off ebay for 10 dollars or so.

I wouldnt change them, they suit the car very well, the only thing would be to
add a thin whitewall those tires and take the wheel centre caps off, roughen
the T up and drill lots of little holes. Use 2 pack hand kneadable putty
and pack it on. Once dry sand them down, paint them black when dry put some
datsun stick on emblems on them from aftermarket steering wheels or NOS.

Still looking beautiful and rare in your neck of the woods

On April 25th is the Vancouver Classic Japanese Car and Bike show at Spanish Banks and I plan on attending. The problem is since I just purchased new tires for the car as well as various bits, I'm left with a very tight budget. Not enough to replace the wheels in time for the show. The wheels on it are steel wheels from a Toyota Celica. I need to paint them so it's not so obvious that they came off a Toyota, a big fat no-no.

Here is a picture of the car and wheels, I've got new matching tires on it now. But I need some suggestions for colours to paint the wheels in time for the show. Any suggestions would be great!
