Problem is, I just can't be boltin' home-made goodies on my 2006 Civic ... it looks brand new and the quality of items I would be able to make just wouldn't look right. If my car was at least 4-5 years old, OK, maybe.
So, I'm ordering those solid hubcaps this weekend. 
As a matter of fact, I'll see your cheapskate move and go one better ... desert trays at the Christmas Tree Shoppes for $1.99. They come with a plastic cover (which I'd toss into a recycling bin) and use the flat, aluminized tray for a wheel cover. They're also lighter than a pizza tray. 
No, if I can only find some factory-finished rear wheel skirts ...

I think this is a good idea. The cheapest 21" pizza pans I could find were $15 each, the ones I thought would fit are $30. I have 20" alloys on the truck.

I am looking at this, using some 1/8" plexiglass.
Plexiglass,acrylic sheet,custom cut to size This place will cut a 20"x20" for $13, and I found some plastic 20"x39" containers at Bed, Bath and Beyond that are only $15 each. I could get all 4 covers from that! Just gotta figure out how to fasten them to the wheels WITHOUT damage. Any ideas?
