Here's a photo I found, of the wheel covers on the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome's Spirit
replica that recently took to the skies. I believe a flat ring of rubber
is prepared with grommets, and then bonded to the sidewall of the tire. This,
then creates a flange to attach the covering fabric to. I believe this is the
way it was done on the original. Pretty neat.

Uh... Need some details!
Airplane or car engine?
"Normal" engine or vintage, rare?
Standard job or performance? Upgrades? Modernization like installing hardened
seats?
Assume you mean something for a plane, so not talking pull and replace as wee are
we?
I know you said complete, but we don't know what's worn. You may or may not even
need valve guides replaced, refurbished.

OH! I like that look. Could even be used to disguise motorcycle mag wheels.

I forgot to mention that the same ones on the Ryan at the
Boeng museum have a riveted seam to make it conicle
that's hard to see here. It didn't detract from the look, to
me anyway.
