Completed a century yesterday. In the process, picked up 4 more holes in the Monokote (for a total of 9), one in the window film, and another rock trapped in between the covers. Fortunately, the Monokote is easily repaired. I have about 300 miles on the wheel covers.
Monokote vs window film:
The bright yellow Monokote increases my visibility, and it looks cool. It also happens to match my Brain Box, and parts of the frame.
The window film is less expensive, is ugly (you can see the double stick tape, and the cut up "No Trespassing" sign used for the hub and the valve stem door), and not as easy to repair as the Monokote.
Adhesives:
Best: Rubber cement with a bead of super glue around the circumference of the Monokote.
2nd Best: The double stick tape that came with the window film.
Dead last and not recommended: Rubber cement.
I am looking around for a better way to attach the Monokote/window film to the rims, as I am not happy with the three methods I have tried. I am guessing the wheel covers will need to be completely replaced by the time the winter rain hits, if not sooner.
Conclusion:
For cheap, light weight covers, this works, but be prepared to spend time repairing them.
