those i would make, i was really looking for the ones that have a larger angle, like a frisbee or something and would ACTUALLY cover the tire mostly to prevent overspray, like these but metal.

Go to Home Depot and get a small roll of aluminum roof flashing. Make your own and use an office binder clip to hold the cone together, works like a champ.
