Exclamation First post!

Hello everyone, this is my first post but I’ve been lurking for a while. Currently trying to squeeze some more MPGs from my beater-an 8th gen 4dr auto Civic. I have a lot of plans for it, mainly aerodynamic. I achieve 34 overall currently with no modifications and I’d love to eventually approach 50 overall. I installed a diy wheel cover today and plan on installing the next 3 tomorrow. I recently purchased an Ioniq 6 SEL AWD and it has many interesting aero touches I’d like to incorporate into my Civic as well. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Thank you! I only got one more wheel cover fabbed and installed today. I attached an image of my Velcro install. I did need a heat gun to slightly bend the outer edges toward the rim as the center area is a little more protruding than the rim. As a side note that I’m sure has been covered-is it worth it to put smooth wheel covers on the rears of the arches themselves are going to be covered?
