Yes, basic maintenance, for sure. Make sure it's running right. - and an alignment. Definitely make sure the wheels are aligned.
Pizza pan wheel covers - never tried them myself. Seems like I read on here somewhere that someone drilled holes in them & used zip ties in like 3 locations to tie them to the wheel's spokes (assuming the wheels have some sort of spokes). If I was doing it, I might put several spots of - silicone - under the edges in a few places - to help them stay put.
And for aerodynamics, make sure there isn't any big weight in the trunk or back seat you don't need. .... if the back end is "squatting" down, more air will get jammed underneath the car where it will cause high drag. You're better off with the car level. You don't want the rear end up - higher than stock height - but just level. DEFINITELY not down, though. Dunno how you could do it on the cheap, but lowering the nose could help. . . . . maybe smaller front tires if you need new tires. . . . may need to get an alignment if you do that, though.
