Hi,

I was in K-Mart last evening and since I need a wheel cover, I checked what they have on sale -- and they are selling all of their 14", 15" and 16" wheel covers for $16 for a set of 4.

I got the smoothest style of 15" and I used some foil tape I have to cover all but one opening:

I put the wire hoop in the tightest setting, and we'll see how it goes...

I was thinking of doing fiberglass over the plastic, but the foil tape is quicker. I do need to try doing fiberglass, if I'm going to attempt to build my CarBEN EV...
