I notice that even with huge open spoked wheels, cars such as the Lexus LS430 still manage to get an Insight matching .25 Cd.
Hot Rod magazine tested a '79 Camaro and managed to get the car down to point twenty .Cd just by blocking the grille and adding a small spoiler extention.
They took the mirrors off, but made no other changes to the body besides the grill block.
They did however test the car with 'moon' disks and ended up running the car with them at the tracks, citing a reduction of two to four counts when they tested the car in the wind tunnel.

I swear I never in a hundred years would have thought that a '79 Camaro with a flat piece of metal screwed to the bumper would be able to almost match the EV1s' sleekness.
I'm still in disbelief.

But anyways ... yah post the image of your rim style and we can all guess at how 'sleek' that they are.
