My wheel covers
I found these plastic trays at a dollar store. And the stainless steel screws at the junkyard. Total cost = $4.32. :)

Excellent work! I have a "collection" of trays that I got over the years that were close but never fit my wheel. Soooooooooo, I am ready for many a picnic. It looks like the tray already had a "center point" to help you make the holes, yes? CarloSW2 |
I measured the tray in the store. It was 15" in diameter, perfect for 14" wheels. I bought one and tried it in the parking lot. Looked like it would work so I went back in for three more.
Yes, there's a center point from the mold. The larger circle drawn on the tray was to verify that it really was the center. I left the lines because it looks extra geeky. :cool: |
...the pencil marks look like "gray" crop-circle-markings on the middle of that wheel cover (wink,wink).

Fantastic, I'll be checking out the one close to me tomorrow!

Throw a domed emblem in the center and you will have made a very nice facsimile of the 1L caps! :thumbup: |

Then you should do the other 3. I've long thought about Moon Discs painted body color with geometric shapes painted on them in a different color. Anyway they look great and I love the mods you've made to your car so far. The foam sticking out is especially "ecomodder-looking" :D| Keep it up. ~Matt |
That puppy is doing better than my so-called premium, high tech diesel !
You really gotta do something about that rust, Fumes. A bit of angle grinder / sanding paper work, a can of anti-rust paint, some glass cloth and a can of resin will stop it or at least slow it down lots. That PUR foam internal reinforcement is pretty inventive though ;) |
