For those interested 2 other people have already done this modification and done ABA tests, the data is in 2 different threads but a consolidated list is in the wiki here

Smooth wheel covers - EcoModder

The average is 3.88 % MPG improvement, definately worth doing for a nice quick modification.
I have also seen people paint their covers so it appears like a normal hub cap.
