According to Goro Tamai of MIT, a full wheel fairing package is good for up to a 70% drag reduction of the wheel drag.
My budget would not allow for A-B testing on the 'baby' template car. So they are an unknown quantity.
No concept car or production vehicle have ever employed them. So far, you'll only find them at Bonneville, World Solar Challenge racers, and SAE & SHELL eco- marathon competitors.
