Couldn't fix any pizza pan locally that fit the vx rims. So I made my own wheel cover.






There are little L shape brackets that revit to the wheel disc and metal wire tie to the rim spoke

Haven't seen that approach before. Aluminum or stainless disc material?

An easy aero fix for this car would be gap fillers around the front wheels. Even with smooth hubcaps, you can see how much turbulence is around the wheel-well.

often times you get the biggest improvement in mpg if you're able to track your mpg in real time vs. all other mods.
