How would you do front wheel skirts ?

We all seen Basjoos' front wheel skirts.
Very clever indeed !
Just curious though about how completely foolish that it would be to attach a wire cage ( a horizontal and vertical support which encases the wheel ) around the front wheel and have it attached to parts of the wheel assembly that move but do not actually spin.
I was looking at the area behind the wheels and thinking that this could be done pretty easily.

If done incorrectly though this could be disasterous !

Another option would be to get some of those hub caps that have a spinner section that rotates, but has an outside section that remins stationary.
You could then attach a full wheel cover to this non spinning section.

( I am much more comfortabl with this idea myself.)

The advantage to something like these two ideas would be that the wheel cover would not increase the frontal area of the car. They would both be flush with the sides of the car.


Your thoughts ?

I had read a topic like this before. I hope I am not reposting something that has already been covered.
