I went out and bout some pizza pans at Walmart $3.97 each.

I am trying to figure out how to mount them to my wheels.

here is my current wheel:


here is my one tire that is missing it's hub cap (why I am trying this mod):


From what I have read there are several options:
1. modify a center cap (bolt, nut & epoxy) - not an option for me.

2. modify a cheep set of hub caps (pop on and off) - could work but would require buying a set of hubcaps to mod.

3. drilling and taping the rim then bolting on the pizza pans - could work but I am not sure where to drill them. also I worry that drilling would reduce the strength of the rims/ off balance them. ideas?

4. zip tie the pizza pans on to the rim - could work but would reduce the looks and MPG gain.

5. magnets - have not heard any feedback on this idea but sounds risky.

What is your idea of a Matrix with pizza pan hub caps?

What would you suggest I use for mounting?

Why?
