Tuneko Ltd has designed new TuneCover - hubcap range that will fit also on aluminium wheels. Purpose of these wheel covers are to protect the wheels outer edge from curbwall hits but also to save fuel. Fuel savings are from 2 to 5% depenging on rims design. Fuel saving part comes from reduced aerodynamic drag on speeds above 80 km/h (50MPH). Car will also accelerate faster and the cars top speed increases.Check out their site good story on a vw lupo.
