I used some salvaged coroplast political signs for a cheap, quickie "smooth wheel cover". I made a compass out of an old yardstick with a hole for a small bolt at 1" and a hole for a sharpie marker at half of the diameter plus the 1"(radius + 1"). After marking the circle I cut them out with offset aircraft tin snips. I used 3 "wire ties" each to hold them on, evenly spaced on the inner diameter of the alloy wheel spoke circle. I painted them with "hammered" texture silver spray paint but they wouldn't have to be painted. They have been very secure and were basically free. It took about 30 minutes to make and install all four.
