Lightbulb Blocking of the back side of a rim

I see many people doing pizza pan moon disks for the front of the rim. But has anyone done any attempts at trying to block off the back side of the rim? In my mind you couldnt really attach it to the rim itself but rather fix it to the suspension firmly and very close to the rim so it doesnt scrape. Im sure brake temps might be higher but not too many guys here are exercising their brakes enough for damaging heat levels to be considered. And im sure there would be a small gap to let some air into the rim. But i just think it would cut down on the rim turbulence in a big way if this could be done safely and effectively. It might even make the belly pans more effective.
