Spare wheel cover was created by helijohn
Looks like I am going to make my own. Just a disc of quality ply - yacht varnished simply to cover the rim as it is now different from the wheels on the road.
Can anyone tell me how to cut a perfect 16½" diameter disc that won't need any more finishing than a quick sand down and coat of varnish?
If I use a jigsaw I'll be spending ages trying to true up the circle and will likely end up with a 14" disc. :laugh:
Also, how can I get it to stay on.

If you only want to cover the rim, then go to any wreckers and grab a full (disk type) plastic hubcap and you can even paint it to match the bodywork 
Should cost you no more than a couple of dollars, simple :whistle:
