With GM fretting over and bragging about how it nit-picked every last aerodynamic detail on the so-called production version of the Volt (see
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ures-4629.html ), it's surprising that they chose styling over efficiency for the four
air blenders the thing sits on.
By air blenders, I mean those chunky open wheels that carried over pretty much unchanged (except scaled down) from the concept car to the production version they've shown to the media & public:
Concept:
Production (so called):
We already know that smooth wheel covers are low hanging fruit. (See:

So what would the Volt look like with that oversight cleaned up?
Photoshop to the rescue!
They look pretty good on the car. Of course you can debate aesthetics until the cheap oil runs out, but I think they go well with the Volt's overall look.
