Potential gain by a smooth wheel cover depends greatly on how bad (aero-wise) the original rims are, how the body of the car flows air over the wheels, and other factors. Greatest effects will be seen at highway speeds, the faster the more drastic. (I believe I remember seeing a tested smooth hubcap job posted on here that netted the pickup owner two or three percent improvement)
