I don't think anything is going to look as awesome and work as well as these 15 inch 90-94 police interceptor wheel covers I have been using for the last few years here:

I wish I could get a 16 version of those 15 inch chevy wheel covers.
Unfortunately I have out grown the 5 lug 15 inch load range C limit of my half ton axle, hub and tire combination. Have to move up to 16's.
With the 15 inch wheel covers, I believe they improved fuel economy around 0.5mpg so I don't mind spending some money on them.

This is what I have found in a quick ebay search.

My requirements are:
16 inch
Fit over 8 lug hubs
Not look like crap
Not attract attention from the po lice.
And be some what more aerodynamic than the bare wheel.

Edit: consider my old 15 inch wheels for sale.
