Are you going to try testing smooth wheel coverings too ? They will most likely fall below your 2% threshold but, they might move the needle enough to gain a little Insight. (pun intended )

Looking forward to your results as you test the various aspects of automotive aerodynamics.

I am not sure the Insight 'expands the scale of resolution' - the lower the CD, the harder it is to make improvements (but I suppose easier to see if you're increasing drag?).

I won't be running full wheel covers. I think the Insight wheels are already very good, and I want to retain brake cooling openings.
