Split rims and baby moons

[aluminitus]

I don't think these are split rims, but I just wanted to make sure before I sandblast and paint the wheels. That auto paint stuff is expensive!





Also, take a look at the clips for the hubcaps. I bought these hubcaps and have not tried very hard to put them on, but they seem like they will be a very tight fit. Did I get the wrong kind or do I need to bend the clips/use a mallet on the hubcap?

These do not appear to be split rims. We have the same style on our Avion. The hubcaps fit between the wheel and the clips, and yes they are a close fit. Use care when installing them to avoid denting them.

What color do you plan to paint the wheels?

They do not look like split rims to me either.

Thanks all! We will be painting the wheels, tongue and bumper a greenish blue that was on some 1963 Cadillacs.



I think this is the car it is from.

Anybody try portawalls out? We got a pair of 3" 'walls that will hopefully stay on and stay looking nice!

An Aquamarine? Sounds nice. Never used portawalls myself. Let us see the paint job whet you get the tires mounted and hubcaps installed.
