Tuneko Ltd has designed new TuneCover - hubcap range that will fit also on aluminium wheels. Purpose of these wheel covers are to protect the wheels outer edge from curbwall hits but also to save fuel. Fuel savings are from 2 to 5% depenging on rims design. Fuel saving part comes from reduced aerodynamic drag on speeds above 80 km/h (50MPH). Car will also accelerate faster and the cars top speed increases.Check out their site good story on a vw lupo.
Have you bought and tested out a set? How much were they? I'd be interested if the price was reasonable.
So i had my tires installed today total weight reduction wheels and tires from stock 71 lbs! I've already seen big improvement in rural driving about 6l/100k from 7l/100k.Seems to coast so much better even though they are winter tires.
