I joined the Pizza Pan Club today.

Made some new hubcaps after losing one of the old Volvo ones.


Looks pretty good, I'd say.


Six Neodymium magnets spaced evenly around the wheel. Each is atop a small piece of 3m tape to keep it from sliding. Three strips of thin insulation fill the gap between the rim and the wheel cover, to keep it from sliding/moving. You can see the insulation peeking out just a bit.


The eventual plan is to paint them white. They are very secure. Requires a screwdriver and a bit of effort to get the magnets to let go.

Total cost was ~$35
