Interesting, i never thought about aerodynamically covering the inside of the tire too. Im concerned about brake cooling, i wouldn't want to deal with alot more more warped rotors. Brake fade wouldn't be good either.

How about slots on the covers that slide open when the wheel is decelerating? Shouldnt be that hard. Drag and cooling would be beneficial when braking. Alternatively they could be held open by NiTi shape memory springs that actuate above a certain temperature.
