I just finished my ultracote disc cover. I think the crome is sweet. I still can’t post pics so if someone could pop these up I’d appreciate it:
It’s not as neat a job as I would of liked, and I am happy to say that a roll of Ultracote will make three wheel covers as my first drive side got a little too warm and pulled off the rim. Total cost on this was <$20.

So… cover just for the sake of a cover… or are you thinking that wrinkly mess is more aerodymanic than the wheel started out to be 
Thanks dude

Probably not, but thanks for the encouragement. 
It’s the Fischer Price My First Disc Wheel kit!
Is that duct tape on the cover in the photo with your bike?
The reflection of the sun might blind your competitors! Definately different. You’ll have no problem finding your bike in transition zone.
Yes it is duct tape i need to find something else, stuck that on for the test ride. Come on guys does it really look that bad?
Yum. Jiffy Pop.
Seriously though, good job making the disk (we are a sarcastic bunch here). I wish I had the skills to build one.

“does it really look that bad?”
Tough call, the photos aren’t the best.
Is it just glossy, or can you actually see your reflection in it?

Oh, man, don’t say “klehner look”. Mine doesn’t look like that!

What are you using for adhesive on the rim? Contact cement will hold any amount of shrink in the 'cote. And for God’s sake! lose the duct tape! Take a piece of spare chrome, cut it slightly bigger than the hole, and use double sided tape or something to cover the hole.

Ack, I can’t stop laughing (and I’m at work!)…
What did you buy with your $15 in change?
Seriously, it doesn’t look that bad…it looks better than if I had done it…and you did it yourself which should make you feel good.
My disc was made by joshatzipp, and it probably saves me about 2 minutes over you. Or, $600 a minute.
Now whose disc looks funny?
I have the stuff to cover a wheel, but ended up getting a Renn Disk on sale. BUT I’m thinking about covering my rear wheel on my Mtn. bike for Xterra Richmond!
It’s not the best job in the world, but the fact that i used the crome really makes it look weird from the reflections and stuff. I think I will give it another try.
You’ll get better at it each time.
looks like my first 10-15 wings from scratch. use a little more heat on the iron with a sock or a monokote thermo.
heat gun with some patience might do a better job. try some seam sealer on the seams. My slimebucket 12 had the covering come off in a big way used a shovel to get the spinner back
