Posted by: Jamie Jan 19 2005, 10:45 AM

I wheely(as in stock 15")need some advice-what can I use to fill the center holes since I repainted the stock steel rims and blacked the lugs on my 73? I want to keep it as stock as possible, and Dad long ago threw out the original moons as "too ugly!"

HA- Could you stuff a tennis ball in there from the back side! You could use the bright yellow ones and paint your car to match.

Or replace the wheels with some 2.0L Fuchs...

I hold extreme disdain for the steel wheels. Especially when they're bent to hell...

Get some stock hubcaps. There is a set on Ebay now. Do a search "914 Hub Caps".
