Wheels covers for 7th gen?

Hey guys, I am looking for those plastic wheel covers that you use to cover your wheel when you spray cleaner or tire shine on your tire and doesnt go all over your wheel. I have aftermarket 20" wheels, I know they made them but can't find them anywhere.

Thanx

I believe this is something like what you're looking for...

Personally, I'd probably go with wood or cardboard cutout, something cheap but works haha

NinjaEdit: Just realized you had 20" wheels, this may not help you then...

Yeah, cardboard works for me and won't scratch the wheels. I even attached a little cabinet **** handle to make it easier to position and hold.

I just found Zanes wheel shield and they manufacture them here in michigan, I called the company up and they are actually only 20minutes from my work, they said I can just stop by and pick one up and save on shipping, 18bucks, worth a try and I am looking for something that I dont have to hold there in place, I tried the cardboard thing and it just gets messy after a while and holding it in place sucks.

I actually messured my diameter of the outside of my wheel lip and cut a piece of coragated plastic sheet to that size and put Tub & Wall peel and stick caulk around the perimeter and now I can put the cover on my wheel and it holds itself up on the lip of the wheel, nice tight fit all the way around! plastic too can be cleaned off no problem. my goal was to have this cover hold itself up which frees my hands!

i just spray the Zaino tire dressing on a rag and wipe the tire down after using Eagle One tire/wheel cleaner. a cardboard circle cutout would do the trick though
