I was sitting in my Humanities class today (Germany in Transition) and I was wondering...
With the aerodynamic smooth rims.. would it be more aerodynamic to just cover the rims, or would it be better to cover part of the tire, making the whole tire a smooth surface.?
as opposed to these.. (normal pizza trays.)

My donut metaphor for it. Would it be more aerodynamic to put a piece of paper halfway from the center of the donut to the top of the donut, or put a piece of paper the covers the whole donut whole completely, that is flush with the max height of the donut? I hope that makes it a little easier.
I could probably explain it better if I had a 3-D modeling program, and I am looking into that. And, I will try to take pictures with a 15" plate, and an 18" plate (or cardboard) for a better visual of it.
Anyone understand what I was saying, and have an idea?
Thanks,
