George, on my 180 I was hoping for a 1 to 2 knot improvement by going from naked wheels to the stock wheel pants. I got nothing. Zero speed increase. But, the wheel pants nicely match the paint scheme, and they do keep the sun off of the tires, so there is some value to them. If I could get 5 to 7 knots out of the wheel pants that Jay has, I would strongly consider them - sounds like I could. -- Aaron Coolidge (N9376J)
