Dick;
Wheel simulators are what you see on many tow trucks and ambulances.
They're bright Stainless and are generally form fit to the wheel, covering
it completely. They fit over, and hide, normal wheel balance weights. There
are vent holes which match the holes in the steel wheels, and generally
come with center covers and lug nut covers. The kind I'm famliar with
require that you remove 4 of the lug nuts, which hold the cover on.
These thing are generally sold in sets of 4, with the fronts being much
different than the rears (like all the SOB's). Check the CW cataloge, page
224, to see a pcture.
A year ago I bought a full set from Todd at AAA in CO. His phone number is
303-286-1254. I paid $300 + $25 shipping, which was much less than retail
IF you could find someone who would sell you 6 fronts.
If you're sticking with 16.5" wheels, and either don't have, can't get, or
can't afford hub caps, this is a great way to have nice shiny wheels with
no extra work.
Good Luck.
