Ha ha, I have those *exact* ones lying around for the same purpose, but I wasn't clever enough to figure out your attachment solution. I like the idea of getting 21" and trimming down to size. I always look for "close to spec" sizes, which might make things harder for me.

When I tested it on my wheel, it "warped" because of the slight bow to my wheel. It looks like you are "flattish" from center to edge. Did you notice warping or is it flat like I surmise?

There are 10 "spokes" in the plastic, but you have 8 spokes. This implies to me that a wheel with 5 or 10 spokes would have even better "installation symmetry".

Great Job! I am looking forward to your updates.
