That's interesting but I think he meant to make the outter part of the circle mimic the presence of a tire... black everywhere that you see black still on the front wheel well/tire.

No, like California98Civic says

Stealth wheelskirts, i like that
Imagine how cool those would be with painted spokes, and those not turning while the spokes painted on the hubcaps do

But I like the first double white circle design best, so much so that I may want to do that (with your permission) on my Insight.
Hope the rear does not sag too much when loaded; it would disturb the cirvle That would be less critical if the lower edge for the skirts was around axle height. They look a bit low now.

That's an interesting point. I'll definitely have to test this once I've got some prototypes to play around with.

Ah, I see now! That is cool! I'll have to play around with that. It's definitely less obsequious that way.

I like it. My wife drives it mostly. The only thing I don't like is when you shift at a higher rpm the revs hang way to long. It's wierd

Also, on the colors... would it be better or poorer design to match the color of the white circles on the covers to ine or another of the trim colors on the car... i.e. grey or silver as with a lot of the plastics and the headlight reflectors?
