It was very late when I did it, and it was just a VERY rough mock up, so please excuse the very crap effort.

Served it's purpose though, and proved it wasn't worth spending any time doing it properly.

"who dares, wins!" as Del Boy would say (which is quite apt as they look like something he might try to sell)

Presumably Pink wheels could only be made in China?

Although my 17 year old daughter said she would like a set if daddy would by her a RRS to put them on! Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Not a bad idea really and beats a horrid space saver.

But if they are ALL Red, then they are all the same and worth nicking again.
In fact it would be harder to sell a plain one.

Yep, good idea.

In various harbours you'll see plenty of newish Outboard engines that have had the covers paintd various distinctive ways to make them less attractive to thieves.

It's mostly the Commercial uses that do it who don't really care what the engine looks like.

I'm going to paint my spare wheel Purple with Pink Spots, which will be fine until I get a puncture and have to use it on the car where it shows.
