    I've been thinking about getting moon disks on my Prius C for a few years now. I tried out some of the hubcap type, but they flexed a lot and kept popping off when I hit small potholes. Where I live & drive, those potholes are non- negotiable, and I don't want to deal with what happens when one of those falls off and skips/rolls into another car.

    So, I've been moon-disk-less for around a year and a half. I don't quite dig the bare steelies look, though.

    I've finally talked myself into ordering all the materials from the Moon website to get Dzus-fastened discs on, and am borrowing some tools (and experience) from some family to get the tires off, tabs welded on, and tires back on.

    I'll update this thread once I'm through that process!

    Oh, here's a preview of the jig I'll be using on the wheel: PXL_20250718_021833788.jpg
