Covers for 22" Wheels? 2017 Model X 75D

[Falcon73]

We bought a used 2017 MX recently and it has 22" wheels. First, what are these called? I can add a picture from my phone as I'm sure that would help.

I'm guessing these are not the most efficient wheels but replacing them would be major $ I'm sure. The coating is also starting to come off, but overall they are still in good condition.

I want to cover them to lower wind resistance. Are there any such solutions for these wheels? With our X being a 75D I'm working to maximize efficiency.

Thank you,

It seems these are called Turbine Wheels. How inefficient are they? I will see what I can find out.

Well, I haven't come up with anything. Guess I will have to invent my own covers if it still bothers me.

One thing I did notice was my tire pressures were a little low. They were 39-39.5 early this morning. I pumped them up to 42.

No official covers for 22s as far as i know plus why would u want to hide such an awesome looking wheels
To be honest, my opinion is covers won't save u any significant range so i wouldn't ever use them.
Get a set of 20s for saving range, they're fairly cheap esp if u find local deal, i've got a set for $650
Nice looking ride. Welcome to the club!
