Another wheel cover update. Cut the 0.015" LEXAN to 20.5-20.6" diameter and used some velcro on the rear wheels (ran out of velcro) and used nylon tie-wraps on the front. Still couldn't get them to stay flush. Even tried using double-sided tape to glue it down. The zip-ties starting tearing through the covers as we drove down the road. A 20-mph headwind probably didn't help, but it is apparent the forces on the front wheels are stronger and more varied than on the rear wheels. Looks like I'll be going back to the 0.100" covers for the meantime, with velcro or zip-ties to secure. I might try some .040" in the future... That said, the corroplast worked just as well, but you can't see the wheels.
