I’m hoping that my foam rubber ring along the edge between the cover and the wheel will accomplish a few things, firstly raising the height of the cover from the wheel (bringing the cover surface in line with the aero lip of the Pirelli P-Zero tire. Secondly I’m hoping the ring will compress and introduce some tension into the cover to prevent flutter. A distant third *might* be braking heat dispersion-although I use mainly electronic braking so not much of a concern.
As far as vacuum bagging goes, I wanted a minimum of weight as the wheel will likely not be able to be balanced while the cover is attached. You can probably achieve a very similar result using a simple wet lay method, but vacuum bagging is more tolerant of too much epoxy/resin.
