wheel cover item of interest

The 2016 Renault EOLAB concept incorporated active wheel covers,activated by built-in wheel temperature sensors, which would close off the brake-cooling vents when not needed,for lower drag. Michelin also designed tires specifically for EOLAB, which were honed for lower aero drag.
