I forget which car, but either ecotex or donkeycrx has a method for cheaply covering wheels with an adhesive black plastic sheeting. He did it on the front, but I suppose it could be done on the back, then maybe a clear cover on the front? Beats the $80 these folks want for these fitted aluminum inserts.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
