Baby moon hub caps?

I've just finished restoring my 1989 Toyota Pickup, and decided to keep the stock steel rims, but painted them the same color as the cab.

I would love to finish them off with a set of chrome baby moons, but I'm not sure what size will fit, and who makes a good quality product that will last.

The ones I HAVE seen, seem to be made for American cars--anyone have an idea of what kind/size will fit the stock wheels? I don't want to start bangin' up the paint until I find a size that works...

I've inlcuded a couple of pics for ref...thanks!

I've been told by a couple of folks with hubcap stores online that baby moons do not exist for this type of wheel...anyone know whether this is true or not?

Thanks!

I don't think the stock wheels will accept a center mount hub cap. the wheels that use hubcaps have bumps around the center for the hubcap to bite onto. i could be wrong but it wouldn't hurt to check.

I think you may be right--all I've seen so far work on the "nubbed" center.

Might be time to "chrome" the plastic Toyota hub caps I painted blue in the pics
