Default Taiwanese wheel cover manufacturer

This company makes decorative wheel covers in 12, 16, 20, and 26 inch sizes.

Does anyone know how, or where I would purchase these or something similar. After painting they
would be simpler than making my own.

Here is a link to the main page.

Thanks for the neat links Dave. I do not know where to even start looking for these, but I am glad
to know they exist. A bike shop here had a box of wheel covers for years, and just threw them out
because "no onerides a 20 inch bike". I haven't seen any since!

I'll keep my eyes open more now.

Yes, I asked about US retailers but she replied that they would sell to me. I assume they want to
sell in quantity. I emailed her yesterday on prices and minimum quantity, but haven't got a reply
yet. Thanks for the info on Quantum Toxy. Here is a link to something similar, although you would
have to buy 2 per wheel and figure out some way of attaching them.

Cool, did you email to find out who they sell them to. I'm guessing they must sell those US flag
ones somewhere in the US, or want to.

Quantum Toxy has wheel covers for 20" bikes, but they are about 50 bucks US a wheel.

Might have potential, though it appears to sit inside spokes, so as you say one would need to figure
attachment.

There is a plastic called Kydex, that heat forms readily, It would be pretty easy to make dishes out
of, though I would almost buy the toxy wheels to figure out how they attach, I've read a bunch of
methods, but never been that reasured. Actualy there is another plastic called concealex that has a
fake carbon pattern on it, looks really good.
