We made a steel frame welded to the original tail gate of the car:
We made cuts in the steel bars every 5 to 10 cm's with a grinder and then welded them back together to get the desired curve. We then made paper templates of the aluminium panels, that we formed on the car using metal working hamers and spanners:
So we nailed the panels to the frame while holding them tensioned and that worked surprisingly well. It turned out better the we expected.

We welded a bracket to the original steelies:
The we made a hole with thread in the brackets, to mount the aluminum wheel covers with a single bolt.
