The same as closing a window makes for smoother aerodynamics. The tire is disturbing the air and a plate to make the air path smoother would "help". People have been running covers on the outside of the rim for a while now. And a cover for the inside of the rim might help smooth the air under the vehicle so that it doesnt act like an open car window. I wasn't thinking of a ring to mount on the rim that would clear the brakes when the rim is taken off but more of a piece of aluminum that would attach to the suspension and be very close to the rim. Most cars with disk brakes already have a dust shield behind the brakes that is attached to the suspension. But I was thinking of something closer to the inside of the suspension that would make it to where the back side of the rim wouldnt effect the air going past.
