What do you think about sizing wheel spats?

* You can have a more 'efficient' air volume restriction without the added drag of the vena-contracta, is all I'm saying.
*As to 'spats', we need to first clarify terms.

* Historically, a 'spat' is a structure which nearly, completely encloses a front steering wheel/tire, and moves along with the 'wheel-flop.'( 1983 Ford PROBE-IV )
* What are currently referred to as 'spats', are a *******ized form of what Goro Tamai, of MIT referred to as 'taco fairings', used by solar race teams to detach-jump-and re-attach flow underneath the hour-glass openings at the front wheels.
