Hi
Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking of in terms of coverage ( except I was not intending to do the inside the car side if the wheel).
Also, since my vehicle will be Street driven I was going to use something more flexible as a cover and most likely attracted to the sidewall utilizing some sort of adhesive..
The reason I thought of the adhesive was to keep friction and abrasion down between the sidewall and the cover piece if they were made separately and not attached together (i.e. the two pieces would rub if they were separate but touching and not moving uniformly thus causing abrasion wear / damage).
Thanks for the picture.
