Here's my question - Should the edge of my wheel covers ideally be against the tire, or in the inset of the rim (like it is now)?

So far, I've only done one just to make sure it wouldn't rip off while I was driving. So far, it's still there.

I might even make it a bit smaller than the rim or put a few holes around to release the brake dust.
