Plate Hubcaps
OK I am going to build some ultra light carbon aero hubcaps. I have several questions I got some hubcaps for 98cents a pop so I got all 5 and plan to cut them up for some plate caps.
Stock they will be recessed slightly. this aerodynamically is going to create a pressure gradient. Do I need to worry about this? or is the drag hit from this too tiny to bother with? If I offset and enlarge the hub caps to alleviate most of this but I am concerned about tire flex pushing off the hubcaps if I do this since to cover that gap I will have to overlap rubber.
Suggestions?
