Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I figured that doing this is better than making a new thread. I agree with the posters that have said that most of the wheels shown are designed with style in mind rather than FE. However, does wheel design affect the overall aerodynamics much? Ten years after the OP I still see cars with similar wheel designs that probably aren't that good as far as aerodynamics are concerned. That being said, I am looking at alloy wheels for my Jeep. Most of the designs are similar to the ones pictured. Is one more aerodynamic than the other? Or would it be better to go with one that is styled more like today's modern cars?
