Help with some old school wheels
Can anybody tell me what these wheels are called? My dad just bought a 54 chevy pickup and he is wanting some of these on them. I think I have heard them referred to as "dog dish" or "baby moons", I just looking for the correct name so maybe I can track some down for him. Thanks in advance.

Do you know what the old school ones would be called? I'm looked to get a used set on ebay or somewhere.

They carry the caps and the trim rings.
While the two names are used interchangeably, Baby moons are usually simple domes, and Smoothies usually have a rounded lip on the edge.

They look like chrome reverse wheels with baby moon centers.

There's no need to go high dollar with baby moons. You can either put the baby moon hubcaps on some old steelies, or you can buy the American Racing "Smoothie" for $93-$123 a wheel.
