hubcaps

Hi everybody!

I am a Spanish guy and I went to Usa to buy my trailer wich was in poor condittion and now I am close to finish the restoration, but I have a question about the hubcaps, I would like to buy hubcaps but I have no idea about the meassures in order to order hubcaps, My tires are P235/75R 15,and in the photo is possible to see come clips close to the screws.....
Does anobody can tell me wich size of the wheels have my trailer in order to order new ones?
Where can I buy the hubcaps?

Thanks a lot and have a great weekend!!

EBay

There is a set of four early 70s Airstream Wheel covers right now on EBay - 15 inch size, stainless steel, look in good shape.

For the wheels you have ...these are the type hub cap you want. Make very sure of the size across the back for the spring clips...they come in different sizes.
These are way to expensive in this ad....look around or negotiate.

I found some baby moon hubcaps at a flea market. Here are some dimensions I keep with me in case I find more :

Moons on the Airstream
Description:
Chrome Plated
w/ Blue Trademark
Outer Diameter: 9-5/8"
Inner Opening: 7-1/4"
Fits 15" Rim

They don't have to be airstream hubcaps to fit. You can use some from 1940s thru 1960s cars.

Moons!

Baby Moons! I am planning on stripping my wheels next year, then painting them blue. After that I will get a set of Baby Moons.

I noticed one hear in Madison at the rally a couple of years ago, it looked very good. Besides only two of my current hubs were perfect matches, the other tow are the same design with different color patterns in the centers. I would like the more uniform look, and I need to touch up the rest of the blue anyway.

Go with the moons you will not regret it.
