How do I know what size baby moon hubcaps I need?

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

Baby Moon Hubcaps available at HubcapsPlus.com.There is definitely a retro styling trend in the automotive industry today, as evidenced by the popularity of the throwback designs of the new Mustang, the new Challenger and the new Camaro, it seems that everything that was old is new again! It would seem that consumers are hearkening back to their glory days, trying to recapture at least a part of their youth.

So it’s no surprise at all that there has been a renewed interest in baby moon hubcaps… You remember baby moon hubcaps don’t you? Those chrome smoothies gleaming in the sun usually coupled with extra wide whitewalls… They were the epitome of cool! Well folks guess what? They are the epitome of cool again.

If you want to give your ride a new look with retro style this is an easy choice… There are however a few things to keep in mind. Baby moon hubcaps don’t attach like regular hubcaps, they are held on via the nubs found on the crown of your wheel. If you are replacing an existing set of baby moon hubcaps, the easiest way to determine the size is to just take baby moon hubcap off of the wheel, flip it over and measure the inside diameter of the cap. If you don’t have existing baby moons, then use the diagrams below.

The rule of thumb for fitment is as follows:

If your measurement is between 8″ & 9″, then the 8″ baby moon hubcaps will be compatible.

If your measurement is between 9″ & 10″, then the 9″ baby moon hubcaps will be compatible.

If your measurement is 10″ & up, then the 10″ baby moon hubcaps will be compatible.

Aren’t you tired of paying dealership prices for replacement Dodge Caravan hubcaps?

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

If you have a Dodge Caravan then you know its dirty little secret. The Dodge Caravan hubcaps are prone to coming off at the most inopportune times. In fact the Dodge Caravan throws more hubcaps than any other vehicle I know! I’m not sure if it’s just a flawed concept and completely unintentional or if it’s a sinister plot to get consumers to purchase more hubcaps… Either way it amounts to a serious pain in the neck… And in the pocketbook for Dodge Caravan owners.

Replacement Caravan hubcaps, if purchased from a dealership can run you upwards of $75.00 per cap! That can run into quite a bit of scratch after several lost caps.

But did you know that replica hubcaps are available for almost every make and model vehicle on the road today? Including Dodge Caravan replica hubcaps? Replica hubcaps are designed to resemble factory hubcaps in almost every way with one BIG difference… Replica hubcaps usually run about 75% less then the factory caps from a dealer.

Granted as they are replica hubcaps they will not have the manufacturers logo. Logos are the legal trademark of the individual manufacturer or manufacturers, and as such it would be trademark infringement to include them on a replica cap. But for the cost of one factory hubcap you can generally purchase an entire set of four replica hubcaps!

Look at what is available for Dodge Caravan owners…
