I don't care for the factory steel wheels, nor hubcaps.

Is there any sort of center cover available that would work on our wheels?
Similar to the rally caps and beauty rings?

i have my rear 1/4 pulled almost 2" but i think unmodified you could get an 8 under there with the right offset.

right now i am running a 7" wheel with a +10 offset. I can fit a 7" rim with a +42 offset on there and not his anything. So i want to add the 32mm to to the back side of the wheel..

32mm = 1.25" but i have enough to give it the extra 3/4 inch.

these wheels would bolt right on to the aveo:

it has a nice cover in the middle, but only a 14.. those are 8 and 9" wide though. oh you'll need stance as well.

if you wanted a baby moon style cover, you would just need to drill holes and rivet the clips to the wheel. picking one that looks good.

thats my old car. one of them. those rims were 12 hole vw steelies, and oem center caps, widened 1 1/2" in front, and 2 1/2" in rear iirc.

i could do bolt them on my car, the new owner is a friend of mine. its sitting right now because he is build a big turbo 16v.
