Count me in as another one who wants plastic moon discs or darn close. Those Honda hubcaps mentioned are nice.. except the flattest ones they have on that linked page are only 13" and I'm 15"... I would appreciate links to any almost-relatively flat plastic hubcaps in appropriate sizes.

While I am interested in stainless steel moons for the aesthetics, I sometimes park in areas where metal theft is a problem, so I want to avoid having them stolen.

With a new car, I don't want to futz with something ugly or poorly handmade looking. Also, people are suggesting various plastic things to make them out of , but don't you also have to consider the relatively high heat of a wheel (mostly from braking) and the impact on the hubcap... ? I think some of these suggested plastics (such as the kids snow disc sled, frisbees, etc.) may have too low of a melting/durability temperature.

Thanks
