Yeah it maybe an exercize in futility. I REALLY didn't want to stick those dots on the alloy wheel...........aaarrrrggggggghhhhhh. (i do know I can get the adhesive off if I need too)

I have actually bought several 'walmart poster frames' again.......to test that material.

carloSW2, I know....I really could not resist.
They are SOOOO flimsy that a zip tie will actually crimp the plastic.
I thought about putting something at the very center of the hubcap....like a presciption bottle (cut it 1 inch) to push the center of the plastic out. At least gaining the 'slight curve' that we are trying to maximize.

as you can see, the edge of the alloy wheel offers absolutely no mounting point.
