Would these cake trays improve aerodynamics? (Wheel covers)
 
2 Attachment(s)
I found plastic cake trays that are the right size for my wheels, but the center part protrudes about 1 cm outside of the wheel.

Do you think that these would improve the aerodynamics or make it worse?

I would recommend sanding down that circle. Good luck!

I wouldn't be able to guess. That hard edge on the tray is a problem. Then again the open spoke pattern of the uncovered wheel is pretty bad to begin with.

Too close to call.

Experiment!

Thanks for the comments. I think I'll try to find something with better shape. I only bought one to see how it would fit. I don't have fuel gauge yet, but maybe I could do roll down testing when I get something ready.

Any tips for fastening these or something similar?

Drill it for your bolt pattern, take off the wheel and sandwich it between the wheel and brake. It will never fall off, and it might even help.
