Sunnyokanagan, I like your wheels, as well, and there is no reason someone can't have both looks, maybe change every few weeks! Anyway, last week I ordered a set of moons, even though I haven't received my Smart Car! That mean I have wheels covers, a radio and no car.
Had a full set on my car, unitl i lost two of them after doing some things to what i thought made them stay put. Oh well, never again on those things. I at least have the other two for decor

The stainless steel full moon Racing Disc hubcaps available from many ebay sellers mount on the Pure steel wheels just fine with a little modification too.
The moon hubcap retainer tabs fall into a channel in the wheel which lets the caps creak and flop around. I lost two before I figured out that you have to bend the 90-degree-angle of the retainer tab outward AND down to about 60 degrees. I made a template of the inside profile of the original hubcap and used that to guide how far to bend the tabs out and down.
I should have read this thread first and I wouldn't have lost two figuring it out...
