These are commonly known as "moon discs" or "moon hubcaps", much beloved by the salt lake racers as they (might) (slightly) decrease aero drag.

Here's the thread you need:

By the way, some of the cheap dish hubcaps have a habit of dehubcapping themselves, so you'll need to check that they attach properly.

Now I know the correct name "mooncaps" or smoothies.. I was able to find two sites one with a huge range http://www.antiquetyres.com.au/hubcaps-accessories?page=1
and a Us site http://hubcapmike.com/smoothie_hubcaps.html

These are for anyone else also interested.
