you may be able to get full hub cap off a late model beetle or golf to fit

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.
