Electric vehicles have open spoked wheels that cause drag when the vehicle is in motion; this adversely affects the range of the vehicle. The disclosed method and device prevents air from passing through the wheels and creates a smooth surface for the air to pass over which reduces aerodynamic drag. This surface can also be used for advertising and decorating. The attachment bracket is manually attached to the wheel at the same time as mounting the wheel on to the vehicle. Next the user bolts on a flat face to the bracket which gives the wheel a flat outer surface and completes the installation.
