Now those are the kind of details I'd like to see here!
ie: This aero mod vs weight saving and that aero mod vs weight saving etc.
My feeling is that with the top half of the wheel moving against the wind, moon disks and light rear wheel covers are a worthwhile aero mod..?
Especially if they are light and replace OEM hubcaps.
(On the Lotus I have machined a place for flush 'moon-ish disks' but into the mags, on the lathe. (reduced weight)
But with a brake cooling gap around the periphery.
The 'moon disks' are circles cut from 2.5 mm aluminum plate.
I'm not liking the look of my initial 'more aero' 2 (2.5mm) bolts affixing design, so will add fake bolts (heads) for each of the mag's 'spokes'.
The sort of bolt head is undecided as yet.
I'm thinking Black Oval head (hexagonal) as a more aero compromise between Countersunk and and Socked-Cap which I like the look of)
