I can't find the link for it, but I did read a study where they compared variations on wheel discs, with one variant being a wide ring around the rim portion covering about half of the radius. This allowed ventilation nearer the lug nuts and was shown to be within a few percent of improvement as a completely solid disc over no disc.
