Well, I tried (marine plastic wheel covers)

I have seen many discussions of marine plastic whenever someone used or considered something else, so I ordered a 14'x10' sheet from Boat Shrink Wrap Construction Wrap 14. That was more than I wanted, but ten feet was the minimum length--$2.18 per feet, with free shipping. I bought a heat gun and tonight I tried it out.

I wondered how it would ever work, I needed to be able to attach the lugnuts!

It shrunk pretty well, except at the edges, and where I had slit it to fold around the back. The last picture shows a hole on the edge--that came all of the way from the back!

When I try again I will cut a slightly larger piece, cut out holes for lugnuts, and put a five-pound weight or something to hold it down as I shrink the rest to fit.

We will see how it goes, but it takes a while!

I haven't used this particular product, but I use (much thinner) heat shrink at work.

The weight in the center sounds like a good idea, but I wouldn't try cutting holes for your lug nuts until after it's been shrunk in place. Any holes or cuts will spread during the shrinking process.

Good point! Thank you very much!
