No not like that, like this:


So only wheels will roll/rotate these will turn along tires in the front and follow suspension. When painted to body color will look better IMO than hubcaps. You can still intall hubcaps under that cover, but effect will propably be neglible to none.

I think these should save over 5% of fuel?
