Abstract

Embodiments include an aerodynamic wheel cover system having an air delivery system to connect vehicle tires to accessible locations that are accessible when a wheel cover is mounted. An embodiment includes a mounting bracket for mounting to a hub of a vehicle, a base assembly mounted to the mounting bracket, a wheel cover adapted to mount to the base assembly, and a plurality of air fittings. Each of the plurality of air fittings may extend from an inboard side of the wheel cover and through the wheel cover to a respective accessible location that is accessible when the wheel cover is mounted to the base assembly. Each of the air fittings may include an accessible portion accessible at the respective accessible location.
