These are glued on caps over the standard hot rod 4 dimple wheel. Just my opinion, but I think it's an improvement. :)

Alright, where did you get those. That looks awesome!:thumbsup:

Cool - salt racer style :thumbsup:

Someone on the diecast customizing section used something like that for some passable cop car dog-dish hubcaps too.

Looks cool Jerry!! I like the way they look!!! Of course, almost anything over the 4 dimples will be an improvement!!! :lol: Nice job!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I can see myself!

Shiny, period correct, and generally bitchin'...

Should work good on Willys, Lincolns, Lead Sleds, and a whole host of others.

Nice upgrade Win, I have been thinking of that myself.. glad someone moves faster then my getting whipped by a slooth pace...

Gee, I think that the Reverend Sun Myung Moon would certainly approve.

We had a guy who used to race with us who.He worked on chinsaws& he had a bunch of similar caps from his carbuerator rebuild kits. I have also made these from Bare metal foil cutting them out with a paper punch.

Nice Win... nd :thumbsup::thumbsup:

all i can say is very nice, cant wait to get some information please

Yeah, ........ What John said!

Some guy from Europe or something is selling "etched photo?" wheel inserts. They look pretty cool. One is the BBS silver and gold wheel. They were under AFX Slot Cars on ebay. I think listed this morning.

Hubcaps...:dude:.. Cool looking Win..
Gives the coupe an all out custom look for sure.
No more digging for custom wheels.
Does it come with a rubber hammer to pop them on???
I think mine will dent them..:freak:

OK guys here's the info. You can order these from Cadillac Pat. I met him years ago at a HotWheels convention (yes, I said HotWheels)

His email is:
CadillacPatCustoms@comcast.net

Here's the price list:
Chrome or Gold in 3mm or 4mm are $6 per 100
Chrome
5mm are $7 per 100
6mm are $9 per 100 or $5 per 50
8mm are $12 per 100 or $7 per 50
10mm are $5 per 25

The 6mm is the size I used on the Hot Rod wheels.
The 4mm is ALMOST a perfect fit for the standard tjet wheel.

If you just wanna order a few to try.....I have some of the 4mm chrome & gold and the 6mm chrome that I can share at cost.

Jerry,
Perfect look on that thing! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Dave

Yes Sir, I likes the chrome caps Jerry!!! Adds that rod look to it!!! ... RM

Are there any pictures of the 4mm wheel covers on the standard Tjet wheel?

Jerry,

Aaaaaaaaaah yes the dreded " I'll just pop these on with the rubber hammer ding job"

clyde,

I made some of these at work, a long, long time ago, using stainless steel and a whitney punch to give me the moon dish look. Will have to post a picture of them up here soon. They fit inside a 4 gear rear rim perfectly!

Those look real nice on your Slot Cars Jerry,

Glad you are enjoying them,

If anyone here wants a smple packet of different sizes just email me at,

These are very easy to apply to the existing rims of HotWheels or Slot Cars.

They turn the otherwise ordinary and bare open end axle rim of a Hotwheels, MatchBox, etc, into a full or partial Custom Chrome Moon look.

Just to play devil's advocate, HO Repros are complete wheels while Pat's parts are add-ons for wheels. Both items are super cool. IMHO, it's not a straight comparison to price a complete set of wheels with add-on parts. That hits my used to be in the hobby business button square in the center.

I see your point Win, you can mod more cars with Pat's parts than you can by adding fresh HO Repro wheels if you already have chassis with Aurora 4 lug wheels. If you don't already have the right size wheels, all bets are off.

Russ the Hutt :drunk::hat::freak::dude::tongue:

I have NEVER had a wobbler from Steve and any car I have ever put HO Repro wheels on is better for it. Then again I run my cars. Not certain what the effect would be with Pat's "disc covers".

Push cars are vrooooom vrooooooom....slot cars are zooooom zooooooom

Apples Oranges

bill come on now!! we dont go vroooooom vroooom. we go screeeeeeeeeeach verooooom ..........screeeeeeeeech.........squack..veroooooo oooooooooom. and we dont wobblel.............we might fish tail a lil down the track. lol how ya doing bill..?

Just trollin' for diecasters Gunn! All good on my end...you?

Here's some pics of the 4mm gold caps on a tjet wheel. I just threw this together for visual aid purposes :D

They don't look bad Jerry!! Nice 'Cuda!! I think with a set of Wierd Jacks whitewalls they'd look really good!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
