Yeah, duct tape will provide a smooth-ish surface to the passing air, so it’ll help... there are also ways to attach smooth covers to alloy wheels that would give a more secure hold than tape... that being said, I’m using strapping tape for most of my aeromods, not necessarily due to its strength but its cost ($0.00 to me)... just search the site for threads about moon discs and alloy wheels
