The wheels have a quarter section that is of dubious effectiveness and there are fins on either side of the rear window. Can anyone explain either of these features?
I don't have enough posts to post links or add pictures, so I'd be grateful if someone could embed photos below.

*I'd forget about the wheels.You're not going to beat MOONs
*As to the 'fins',the Insight has been beat up by the press for crosswind handling issues and this may be a Bandaid for moving the center of pressure aft a bit,an idea patented by Fachsenfeld in the 1930's;something Kamm was obsessed about and used into the 1960s.
