I got them from WalMart, about $5 each. But I had to go through a lot of them, to get 4 that were in decent condition.

Side note: If the pizza pan wheel covers work as intended, I'll probably make something that attaches directly to the wheel. Because I also would like a more secure attachment.

I have some experience working with composites (i.e. fiberglass). So maybe I'll make some wheel covers and a grille block from fiberglass... or maybe carbon fiber? That would be cool. But that's a "maybe someday" thing.

At this point, I think I've exhausted all the "cheap and easy" aero mods to reduce drag. I would also like to try a belly pan and rear wheel skirts... maybe a drag spoiler as well. But those are more involved projects.
