Pretty damn ugly! Wonder if they actually help that much. A Scoot car used to be using them as well.

Now you only need to buy 2 nice rims! Saves you money in the long run!!!

Oh yea plus those wheel fenders look like the sideskirts and the fender flare are a one piece kit to ensure stability and to control direction or airflow.

Probably the most obvious benefit is aerodynamics, but look at the negatives...They're fugly, they will prevent your rear rotors from dissipating the heat while braking, and did I mention they're fugly?
