EDIT: the only difference in my approach was I made the discs large enough that they just touch the tire itself (helps keep them centered, I figure).
I think in the final version I'll extend to the tire so the wheel is not visible. I'm thinking of painting the same colour as the car. Now if only the paint for a 14 year old vehicle was still for sale...
