Blue painters tape and newspaper.

What Chessie said plus hold can steady & rotate wheel - why work in circles!

We like SS simulators though.

I got aluminum now and had them polished. Now to get studs from Luke.

Only thing I have steel wheels on anymore is my Sammy and it's a rust bucket that I use only on the property here like a 4wd golf kart. The body is in the process of rusting off of it but amazingly enough the wheels still don't leak. If I ever have to replace the tires that may change. Had Buds on the class A and never had a problem with them but did hide them under stainless covers which were a bit of a pain. When bus shopping I only considered buses with steel wheels if they were a tremendous bargain. Glad I did it that way too, those Alcoas are NICE.

Mike left 6 chrome 22.5 wheels and a set of S/S covers at my place I need to find a home for before they go in the dumpster

Where are you located. Chrome? So, they are steel wheels, right?

Don't let the dogs pee on them.

I made an adjustable steel hoop pot of some scrap sheet metal. The diameter is set with "C" clamps and the whole thing is held on the wheel with bungee cords. Works great. Jack

Jack, you not only think out of the box but out of the circle too! Clever...

Yeah, but now you have paint all over your good c clamps.😆

Pretty slick, I may have to do something like that.

Thanks
