For several years there have been people using custom bolt on adapters to mount dog dish hubcaps onto Weld Draglite wheels, and while it sounds weird, it really does work. The dog dish caps cover the holes in the wheels, and after a quick paint job they look like steelies but are way lighter. I dig the look, and have a project I am planning to outfit with a set. But there is more than one way to skin a cat, and this trick here is pretty cool, if a little more high tech than some others. Take a look at how the Rustomod crew gets it done!
Video Description:
In this video, I’m taking a set of brand-new cast aluminum wheels and giving them an old-school classic car look. The goal is to make these modern wheels blend in with a vintage build and look like they belong on an old hot rod or classic truck. Instead of running something that looks too new, I wanted these wheels to have that classic steel wheel style while still keeping the benefits of a newer wheel. This is all about making modern parts disappear into an old-school build.
