quick hubcap question, 2wd 16" stock wheels

Quick question... Does anyone know of some "baby moon" hubcaps that will fit our 16" steel wheels? I'm planning on painting the wheels to match the truck, and polishing up the trim rings. I was thinking some chrome smooth hubcaps, I call them baby moon hub caps, would look pretty clean and sort of retro. I hate those stock boring work van looking things! Any suggestions?
I tried a local tire shop and all they had were whole wheel plastic hubcaps, not just the center.

Thanks,
Jason

Try looking up moon, as in the old hot rod parts house. I have seen them before, but it has always been at places that sell hot rod parts, so that's what I would try. I have no idea if they will fit our rims though.
Something I had thought about was getting chrome center caps off of a third gen and putting them on my truck. I don't know if they would fit right, but it would kinda give you the same look.

thanks for the suggestion. I have thought about that, and also just getting chrome lug caps, but I need something for the center hub.

For what it is worth, Ford, Chevy, and Dodge "dog-bowl" caps will all fit these wheels nicely.

I actually like the factory two-piece wheel treatments that two of our trucks have = trim-rings and "dog-bowl" center-caps.

Me too. It's a classic look that fits well the the classic styling of the trucks.

I dont mind the trim ring, but the center cap is just not the look I'm going for... I would just like something a little smoother.
