Fabric over cheap plastic wheel covers is the best - so far - but even when I buy 8 and double up on the springs in each, they fall off. I know that wheel covers in general fall off, and that's why I think we need a mechanical fastener. Welding a Dzus nut, or a regular threaded nut to the wheel, and fastening them with 3 around the perimeter seems close to ideal.
