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? |
You might want to consider PETG clear plastic rather than acrylic Plexiglass. Much tougher, PETG is the stuff used to make water bottles, etc., and probably cheaper, too.
Make a circular template the exact size needed to fit your wheels, cut out the hole, and use as a pattern for PETG sheet clamped on. Put in oven, plastic will heat and sag to slightly convex shape, stiffer and more aero than a simple flat disk.
Got good attach to wheel method yet?
A set of clear disks over stock alu cast wheels would look good, go on for highway trips but come off easily to air the tires, etc..
