Update:
I did some work today and got the two front wheels covered!

How to:

Examine your existing wheels.


Buy pizza pans to fit (mine were 16" but 17" would have been better), Walmart had these for $3 each:



Locate a good spot for drilling and taping bolt holes: (in my case it was the ridge in the middle of the rim)


Drill and tap 3 holes spaced 120 degrees apart (measure with protractor). I made the holes in the pizza pans first then used that as a template for the rims. I messed up the first set of holes (they were in 1/2" to far):




Attach using bolts to that mach you tap (mine was 5/16 x18 and 1" long (.5 would have worked)):





Other side of car (notice only one set of holes):


Paint insides to slow rusting, I also put a layer of clear coat on the outside.
