6" wheel trim rings?

[randybill]

I have a 2014 22.5 performer silver.  it came with solid disc hubcaps but i prefer the look of the classic small white weber logo'd trim ring that snaps into the perimeter of the wheel.  i cant seem to find the trim rings anywhere but i don't want to pay $15 each for new wheels just to get the trim rings i want.  help??

ocd sucks.

Unfortunately, there is no place to buy them brand new w/o the wheel.  There are a couple options:

1.) Buy directly from Weber @ $11.95 each + $7 flat s/h.
2.) Try to find a CL deal with Weber wheels in perfect shape.  Swap 'em & sell the CL grill for a profit.
3.) Have @zavod44 make a set of inserts outta whatever wood you desire. Then buy a matching handle & damper tab. Since you're OCD, you might as well get a matching set of bale rollers too.

those are 8" wheels, yes?

will a whitewall click into them? I can't recall what performer wheels look like under the moonrover hubcaps

@brewtownbeatdown that's what i was afraid of.  speaking of ocd, the handles on my weber grill and my weber chimney didn't match so i bought a brand new handle for my chimney to match my grill! 

@zavod44 i'll probably just get some wheels.  i doubt you could manufacture custom trimrings for less than 15 a piece.

@Troy no they are 6" wheels.  "moonrover" haha!  that's a good name for them.
it appears a whitewall will click into them. there are holes for the trimring and a perfect slot where the trimring would fit.

Making some laser cut whitewalls have been on my to-do-list for a month now.  Work is busy and has kept me from playing with the laser.

Anybody have access to a 3D printer for the plastic inserts?.. just thinking out loud here..

[Troy]

aren't performer wheels 8" instead of 6"

Or did you put little wheels on yours?

Yes, but laser cutting plastic would give the best finish.

ended up purchasing a pair of wheels just for the stinking trim rings.  now my grill has classic look that i was after.   i really don't care for the "moonrover" wheel covers.

i reached out to "uncle al" and never got a response. 

@Troy my performer is the model with the folding work area.  i wonder if you are thinking of the larger performers with larger work surface?

Sadly, @Uncle Al l hasn't been active for quite some time. I'd love to purchase a couple more sets of his whitewalls.

Which part # has performer size wheels with the Whitehall look?  Are ssp wheels the same size as gen 2 & 3?
