hi

my corrugated plastic wheel covers are causing problems. i took them off because the center of the wheel sticks out and the tight cable ties caused them to bend which looked weird after a while. now with slacker ties there is a gap between the covers and the wheel. this seems like bad for aero? taped budget hubcaps would be better i think?
