The smooth hubcaps definitely help, especially in the winter (the air is denser and has more drag). However, I cannot recommend the type of covers that pop into place with the springs that hold it there. After a while, the covers fall off, and they creak as you roll.

It is more work, but it is better I think to bolt some aluminum pizza pans on. Or, glue/rivet them onto the stock plastic hubcaps. The pizza pans are a lot less money, and they should stay in place better.
