Hmm. Yeah, I could see it causing vortices which might improve airflow to the brakes. It just looks half finished though as the duct ends in a flat wall. Has anyone ever cut that rectangular wall out?

Wheels look like Weds TC-105Ns, maybe?

Cutting the back wall out of the "NACA duct" would totally defeat the purpose. The poster that was talking about them creating turbulence is on the right path. The airflow is pulled in to the back wall by the shape of the valley opening. When the airflow hits the back wall it starts to tumble, creating turbulence. This turbulent air then creates low pressure...an offshoot of Bernouli's Principle. This helps to pull air awar from the front of the tire/wheel well opening, thus reducing lift. For this to really produce downforce, it would need to flow forward into a splitter so the air coming over the top would hit a big wall and make enough turbulence to carry down the sides of the car.

Obligatory WW comment: Wicked White rocks!!! Guess that's why mine is WW, too.

They look similar to the Acura TL or RL wheels to me, look them up.
