I had an interesting experience last winter after I duct-tape smoothed my factory wheelcovers. We were doing a 2+ hour drive on powder snow covered roads to go skiing. At the end of the day as we left the resort and got up to speed on the interstate it felt like the back end of the car was going to shake apart. I stopped at the next exit and there were golf ball sized chunks of ice inside both back wheelcovers. The snow kicked up by the front wheels had filled the wheelcovers from the back, melted and refrozen during the day. Shook it out- smooth sailing. Never happened before I smoothed the wheelcovers and hasn't happened since but it's possible.
