Your original wheels seem pretty good aerodynamically. They have holes, but they are small, and the surface is mostly flat. If you find the time, use your Ultra Gauge to A-B-A test this mod? Have you thought of deleting the passenger side mirror? My hunch from my experience would be that there might be bigger gains for you there.
