After all the recent chatter about moon style discs on the xB forum, I decided to try them on my xA. These are the screw type and are not the hubcap application. Man, I should've gotten the hubcaps. It would've been easier. One sales guy said the screw type would be harder to steal...Hmmm...I wonder.

Sheez...In this application, I had to take the wheels off, then mark the holes on the rim, drill ( hoping no to puncture the tire). The discs came with self taping screws which I stripped immediately. Off to the hardware store to get some more screws. After drilling the holes with a #16 drill bit, I used a tap to make some female threads and used the new screws that were too long and were sized to the proper length. After install, I test drove it and some screws seemed a little loose or maybe I didn't tighten them down enough. Just in case, I used some lock-tight to prevent the screws from backing out... I hope. The only disadvantage is I have to remove the discs to fill up the tire.

Hey, what can I say...It's a cheap mod until I get the custom wheels. Next I will darken the windows and lower the xA 1.5 inches or so....

Here are the pics...I think the xA looks better in person. The xA now reminds me of some of the cars used in "Back to Future" or some sci-fi flick.

 

Neat...it's almost like it's floating in the air.

 

That looks pretty cool. :D It really does add the retro/futuristic look to the car.

 

Moons are the only hubcaps that are worth rocking...looks good \m/

 

haha. that's funky!

where did you get those and how much?

 

Lol~ It's hilarious to first time, but afterward I have a feeling people will start scratching their heads.

All you need is some flashing underbody LEDs and you have a bonefide UFO!

I dunno. . . it's kinda weird IMO. . . I'm rockin beauty rings, and am pretty happy with em

 

lol I had a pair of moons for my xB but when I turned into my bank the 3rd day I had them I seen something silver streak in the distance and I turned to my g/f and said was that one of my moons? I made her go out and grab it lol After that incident I didn't put them back on and put rims on it.

 

i wanna see do you also have the center cap too??? pics pics pics pics pics lol

 

damnit. . . I'm lazy. . . no center caps (I'm trying to get the polished lip look). They look nice. . . better when they are actually clean. Ii'll take better pics when it stops raining out here

 

the beauty ring with dogdish look is good also...so are baby moons...anythign but those cheesey hubcaps that are supposed to look like wheels. So glad my Altima has the factory alloys...or I would have moons on it...

 

Those look so funny... yet so cool!!!

 

You should see all the weird I get..." Like what the hell?!?!" He he! I like making people look.

 

and just think those things are so simple to clean up and brake dust is never an issue on them...kudos for choosing a classic look

 

Moons on an xA!!
Way cool.
Look great on xB also!

 

that looks pretty cool!

No brake dust!!!!!

 

Here are the requested pics of the beauty (trim) rings

 

sorry about the sizing. . . I'm still learning to resize
