Hub Caps ?????

[altrego30]

I know this may sound strange, but does anyone know where I can find some cool looking hubcaps to fit the 6" go kart/BSR wheels?

[altrego30]

Im guessing no one has any ideas, where to find them.....

I havent seen them for wheels smaller than 8 inches. I just gave away a bunch of 8 inch wheel covers that I have taken off of golf carts we lift.

Maybe you can talk to a metal fab company and they can pound some out for you. I would not imagine it would be very difficult. Just drop off a rim for them to match up and fit.

Other than that, I am not to sure myself...

I saw tons of 8" just was hoping some one saw 6 " somewhere I havn't looked yet.

I just can't imagine hubcaps on a BSR unless they are the Ben Hur type that'd mess up anyone that got too close, LOL
But I s'pose gold hunnert spokes could pimp your ride, put the beats in the trailer, know what I'm saying, yo? Some curb feelers, green and gold metal flake, you feel me???? Tow the ho's around, lol

How about some spinners instead? :laughing:

I thought about some for my BSR before I sold it. You could get some for a TMAXX R/C truck, they would be about the right size and then modify them to fit the rims. It shouldnt be too hard, but they are about $100.

Well....If you "have it in you"...you can make "Moon" style by spinning them....I have done that years ago....need a wood lathe....turn a convex shape in hardwood on the lathe that will make the profile you like...then cut a circle of 1/16" 3003 aluminum....anneal it to soften it.....quench it....center it over the wood form....make a wood block to fit on the tailstock to clamp the disk in place......turn it on and lube the disk with candle wax...use a smooth blunt rod ( 3/4" ) to "work form" the disk to fit the wood pattern...when you get the hang of it you can use a sharp lathe tool to cut the excess off leaving a round disk...at least that is the way I made them 40 years ago....good luck

I am working on a very cool idea now Guys. would take a little design and cutting but would be a cool look. lets just say if the axle is a few inches too long on each side, 2 extra sprocket hubs cut into a desing would set just inside the opening of the rim, and still have the air stems accessible. anyone feel me on this one?

The wheels are 6" not the tires, Tmaxx wheels are way to small.
I have seen 6" baby moon caps. But was looking for somthing with a bit more style.

Interesting Idea, too bad I already cut down the axle.

I have been thinking about caps as well
I havnt had a chance to get to it yet, but the idea is open
how about mag wheel centercaps, Centerline-Weld-ARE?
thought about making a bracket similar to the ones that hold wire wheel covers on old GM Caddy's, only smaller scale, bolting them to the lug bolts, placing centercap on and centerbolting, cover bolt with emblem.
spin the wheels around backwards, valve stem to the inside????
