Probably won't be able to tell the difference between the 2 designs. I've thought the same thing a few times especially on a lowered car that doesn't have the gaps that a stock suspension car does. If you decide to go with wheel covers maybe consider "gap fillers" to close the gap between the wheel arch and tire to keep turbulence down and encourage air to continue across the wheel cover more smoothly
