Yeah, those are ALCOA standard wheels... you probably won't get much better aero from them, unless you can put a dog dish over your lugnuts or something, but even then, they're not going to get much better than they are.
I've thought about getting the center caps and lug covers, but don't have the time, or the money (to spend on someone else's truck). On a side note, on the rear discs, they're brushed aluminum. I've tested an area with polish (but was to lazy to do the whole wheel), and it does smooth out quite a bit (and shine more than they do now). Is there much difference in smooth surface vs. not? I know there is, but not sure if there is in relation to my situation. From my time of watching Nascar restrictor plate races (Daytona & Talladega) that instead of decal/wrapping, they actually paint the car and logos on for 0 raised edges. They also wax the surface and do a wipedown right before green flag, but on the scale of searching for .0001 sec or less gains (that still make a huge difference), it matters.
