Will Moon Spun discs fit my American Racing 15" rims

I was thinking for a lil change from time to time and get some spun alum discs for for my American Racing 15" rims. As such, I have a few questions:

1. Will they fit AND stay on?
2. What stays on better screw or clip?
3. Are they easily taken on and off?
4. Are they too f'ing poseur-ish now?

Thanks!

A wheel change is the quickest way to change the look of a truck.

I know this doesn't actually answer your "?", but personally I think the wheels you're currently running are too wide for the Moon discs look. Maybe find a cheap set of narrow steelies from the salvage yard and buy a tall / narrow tire to run with the Moons.

Just looked at your pictures. I don't think they make discs that go on Slotted aluminum mags. I may be mistaken.

If you decide to use the Moons you will have to use the screw type. Like Griz said you won't find a set to push in and stay.

I think C&C is right, spun discs would not look good on the rims.

I guess I'm stuck with what I have since it's not in the budget now.

Thanks!

Lol! I'm game if you got some torque thrusts to trade!

When I inherited the truck it had original torque thrusts and pie crust tires with the current wheels/tires in the bed.

Although I liked the torque thrusts much better, they were kinda narrow and the tires were in bad shape. I just thought that I should swap them out for safety and I got caught up in the wider tire looks faster BS. Unfortunately, I gave the torque thrusts to my friend's little brother as he was getting into cars and needed some wheels.

Regardless, I shouldn't bitch about what I have and don't have; all things considered, I am pretty blessed.
