My evidence isn't based on just this one paper. See my reference list above that I used when writing that section of the book. Those references showed that full wheel covers on road cars aren't necessarily the best for lowest drag.

You can nuance that any way you like, but that is radically different from the advice so widely given, including on this discussion group.
