Awesome DIY! I just ordered 4 - 17" Aluminum pizza pans from Grainger, for my 16" OEM Malibu Wheels.
I was assuming I would have to put 2 or 3 smaller bolts into the plastic center cap from the outside, and I was not sure of some details etc.
With your writeup, I am going to take your approach, and use just 1, bigger, more robust bolt, pointing OUT. Makes it easy to take off for getting to the lug nuts.
I am going to notch them for my air valve access.
I think smearing some good silicone on the hub cap before press fitting back in will work for me, with some good tape across it as well for good measure.
I will post my DIY as well. So glad I found your post!!!
I wonder how to get this post into the Areodynamic section too, that is where I see most of the moonie / solid disc hub cap write ups...
