Okay, so I'm just jumping in here and have mostly just skimmed this thread, so I apologize if this has already been brought up or I'm missing some major points.

It seems to me the easiest way to attach these would be to cheesy hubcaps, and with maybe 20 screws with spacers... or sex nuts. This would make the smooth cap less apt to flap and crack. And you could make a rather permanent attachment, as when you needed to get to your lugs, you could just yank it off like a hubcap.

For spacers I would use small bits of nylon hose (about 59cents a foot). You couldn't put too much torque on them, but some lock-tight would make up for that.
