Those wheel covers look GREAT! I would still advocate for wheel skirts for the rear wheels; the advancing wheel top PUMPS air into the car's slipstream, adding perhaps 20% to the air disturbed by the car. I don't have quick access to any data on drag reduction, however.
Exactly how did you fasten the wheel cover / pizza pans on? I see a single center fastener...

I'll be doing a short writeup on it since I believe any aluminum wheel could be covered this way. Basically I used a rubber expanding plumbing plug that uses a carriage bolt, which conveniently sticks past the wheel face. It's very solid.
