Now that I look at the original pics of the StreetCar posted by XJGuy, I notice the gap on the top of the front skirts a lot more.
This reminds me of the capads, aka a weighted floating cover, except they are extending the "cap" outside the diameter of the wheel :

Oh yeah, I've considered those, but I think they are very pri$ey :

CapAds not rotating wheel cover - No non not rotating advertising media hubcap


This is actually the "effect" I wanted to create with my old SC2 back in the 1990's. I wanted to make it look like my car was "floating" over the road.

Because you are adding a heavy "weight" to the outside of the wheel (at least that's how I *think* it works), I suspect that the driving characteristics change.
