Hey, gang!
Last time my mechanic had the girl, he failed to secure one of my rear hubcaps (nipple with Porsche crest), and, on the way home from the shop, the cap said auf wiedersehen and gave no forwarding address! 
I took off the remaining three, and have been running her naked for a few weeks.
Not a bad look, but my wheels are just 4-lug and nothing fancy.
Instead of buying a replacement nipple cap, I'd like to give the baby moons a try.
Does anyone have four moons for sale?
Lemme know!

Be sure the ones you buy have the holes to pull them off. I bought a set I don't use because they don't have the holes.
cant u just drill a hole(s)makes the car lighter too
drilling through the chrome is near impossible
Purchased a set of stainless moon caps on samba awhile back--have not been able to find the link. Hope you find stainless because the chinachrome really sucks.

Thanks for the link, @americanworkmule!
I hadn't begun a web search yet -- thought I'd throw it out to the members first, to see who might have a set for sale.
I might try the set you suggested -- they're stainless, and not too expensive. I'll post a review!
I have to admit, although I prefer the Spyder sans hubcaps, my unnatural attraction to SS and bare magnesium is talking to me. 
I’ve always preferred the look of polished SS to chrome. All the trim on a 2002 is SS.
Cory, if your buy doesn't work out, i have a set of moons i'll give you free for mailing cost. i haven't seen them in about 2 years since i replaced them with the nipple type but they were good enough to keep. Let me know if you can use them. We won\t be home for another two weeks having just visited the most Eastern piece of land in North America.

David!
Thanks so much, buddy!
I’ll take you up on that offer!
Private-message me when you return from the North Atlantic!
Buyer Beware. I went through many baby moons including the ones with the pull holes and yes I bought a puller but I could never put them on without denting them. Plus they have a tendency to fall off. At a minimum be sure to get the ones with the interior clips. I ended up with 912 caps and have never had a problem since.
I wonder if the stainless ones would be more dent resistant.
Any pictures of the 912 hubcaps on 4 bolt rims , that might be a simple way to have hubcaps …..
I ordered the hub caps from Beck. They were very expensive and coming from Beck they were probably Porsche licensed. Note they are on 4 lug 10 slot rims I also got from Carrey. You might also notice the modified window curtains that actually tuck into the top for in improved seal.
