Yesterday, one of my flat wheel covers fell off. This is getting maddening - I have tried stainless dome covers (the springs are not stainless, so they rust and fail) and pizza pans riveted to plastic covers (too heavy to stay one with only one spring, and eventually they fall off with two springs), and this latest one was fabric and glue and paint over a plastic cover with 2 springs - and it came off, as well.

So what does a determined ecomodder do?

ABS plastic fatigues, as do steel springs. How do we make a secure mechanical connection to hold a flat cover in place on a car wheel? It obviously has to let us fill the tire, and to change the wheel; either with holes, or by coming off relatively easily.

Is there something new and better for smooth flat wheel covers?
