coroplast thickness for wheels
Is 5/32" coroplast thick enough for wheel covers?

Home depot has a 72" x 36" sheet for $14, which is twice the size that I need, but the only local source that I've found.

I got 12 gauge copper wire to attach them.

Yes, that is thick enough.

5/32 is slightly under 4mm, which is the thickness I buy all my coroplast

You can reinforce a long edge with a steel wire rod inserted into a channel along the edge.
