How do you plan on cutting the discs? I used aviation snips on mine because that's what I had available to me at the time... Ideally a compass mounted knife would be the solution...

Another thought, but what if instead of cutting holes for each lug nut you just cut a circle that goes just around the four? Or would your wheel design not permit that?

We have the same goal in mind for summer... I think it's plenty doable given the amount of low hanging fruit you have left to pluck
