I hope you'll find a way to keep them while the car is moving.
With front skirts flush against the wheel wells, and new wheels sticking 1 cm farther out, I don't know how I'd handle gentle curves, let alone get out of our yard (which requires gymnastic elasticity)!?! The thought of front skirts has crossed my mind, but I can't imagine how it could be done on this car without a big frontal area penalty.

I have so much more motivation now since my OEM Peugeot hubcaps don't fit the new wheels, and both the Wife and I agree that Svietlana looks much better with her wheels covered. So I might as well do it right.
