I wanted spider caps too and I have yet to find ANYONE that makes then for a wheel with the 5x5 pattern like our Cadillacs use.
I spoke to Wheel Vintiques at a Goodguys car show and the idiot in the booth just gave me the brush-off like I was the only person
in the world driving a Cadillac with those "weird" wheels.

Are you saying you bought the Moon spider caps for the 5x5 pattern and they didn't fit?

The pattern is correct, but my front hubs are too large.

So the Mooneyes spider caps are for a Chevrolet truck then?  I'd think there were a lot more old Pontiac, Buick and Cadillac vintage car owners that would buy them and would need the larger hub hole.  Did you talk to Mooneyes about the issue?
