Question Prius aerodynamic hubcaps?
Hi all,

I was looking around and saw some people with hubcaps that look aerodynamic (no holes, etc) and wanted to know where to get those and if they actually work. Anyone have any info on these?

I have a prius 08'.

EcoModder member krousdb also has a set on his gen. 2 Prius, though I don't think he's quantified the effect, if any.
