Hi
Looking to get some extra fuel economy from my Jetta by improving aerodynamics.
When I was running steel wheels I simply drilled and bolted aerodynamic covers to the factory hubcaps and it worked fine. However, i switched my wheels to Avis aluminum rims to save weight and now I can no longer run hubcaps.
My dilemma is how to attach the aerodynamic covers to my wheels ( the aerodynamic covers I was referring to are the pizza pans available from Walmart .... ).
I've been a little reluctant to drill into the spokes to mount them so I've been leaning towards trying to utilize magnets to glue to the rim ( high-strength rare earth magnets)
It would be neat if I could do it using magnets because then there would be absolutely no indication of How It's mounted when viewed from the outside.... but the difficulty doing that is to precisely place and glue the magnets...
What are your thoughts on mounting this?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
