I have a VS project car.
The steel wheels don't have hubcap nubs.
I wanna put baby moon hubcaps on.
The hubcaps I have are the same diameter as the topmost part of the raised rib around the wheelnuts recess.

That is just going to look like a bad American 90's car isn't it?

I think the cars way to modern for them but people also run venetians on them and think they suit which i disagree on.

At the end of the day in my opinion majority of commodore owners already have no taste in wheels so do as you like.

Opinions are like assholes everyones got one and you shouldn't be modiying cars for yourself to please others. If it pleases you its all that counts.

We looked into this when we had a set of the 16'' X 8'' pursuit rims fitted.
The only way to fit the moons is to fit the cap fastening clips to your rims, VW Beetle ones and hubcaps would be good. If I remember correctly they pop rivet on but a tig would also work well as long as they're placed evenly and the rims are balanced.
We didn't want to modify the rims so we settled for 6 of these as per the picture.
4 for the car and 2 for the camper trailer.

About as helpful as tits on a bull, but I have my reasons.

Perhaps something helpful might have been appreciated

Not sure if the OP realises but the person they are replying to about being helpful and adding spats to no longer gets on here
