Would it be better to remove any hubcap entirely, reducing wheel weight at the cost of extra drag?
How about heat dissipation? If you drive near mountains and/or drive aggressively, is the reduced air flow by the front brakes significant?

1) immesurable, in cost of weight.
2) leave on the cap, unless it's creapy shaped, get smooth caps.
3) no significant
try pizza pans. use GE outdoor caulk to apply.
i would do it, but i already have smooth caps.
