jthistle, I like yours too. Yes, I suppose I wish they didn't stick out so much (I noticed the same thing almost immediately) but I figure they are stronger in that shape. Flatter 'pizza pans' would have to be heavier to have the same strength, I think.
If/when I get real wheel skirts, I'll probably remove the rear moons ... and either sell them or have a spare pair.  |
Nice. They look good on any car, really. In a month or two, I'm going to get a set for my girlfriend's Intrepid, so we match.
I do get a lot of looks. Everyone old guy who is at least aware of old-school hotrodding knows they're cool. The guy that put on my tires said, "they look like the inverse of spinners-- the car looks like it's not moving," and in general, my car gets a huge amount of attention. Just the other day, someone at work asked to look around it, and was astonished at the comination of full size truck-equivalent leg and head room, combined with my decent FE.
The aluminum Moon discs stick out a lot, too, and they are way less strong than the steel knockoffs. Mine are scuffed more than I'd like to admit. If I do rear skirts, I probably won't run discs on the back, so I can make the hypothetical skirts flush with the body.
