Disk Wheel Covers
I have a Ch aero cover that I bought at excelsports.com and I love it.
It's cheaper.

I don't have one, but am very eager to get one...I'm pretty sure my stock wheels on my P2 are one of the few they can't be trimmed for. Everything review I've seen is very impressive, especially considering their cost compared to an actual disk (like 1/15-1/20th cost). I've also only heard good things about wheelbuilder as a company.
Have one from wheelbuilder.com. He did an awesome job and it works. Initial setup is difficult as you figure it out. Subsequent installation an removal is easy.

Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.
I have one for my Mavic SSC SLs. Used them once on a training ride. The install is kinda a whip: You have to remove the entire cassette, then line up each side of the disk and fasten the opposing disks together. Totally easy if you have a chain whip, but not really a quick change. And definitely you can't/shouldn't train in them regularly. They aren't made for every-day use. For the cost on race-day, it's a no-brainer. If you look at ebay for Zipp stickers, you could buy some Zipp rim stickers and throw them on there. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference when moving.

Um... aside form the distinct lack of "woosh" you get with a disc. With the covers you get more of a rattle, especially if you don't get it on perfectly. And the ones I've seen are seldomly on perfectly.
Aerodynamically, you aren't sacrificing much with the wheelcover (and potentially gaining some if you pair it with a Zipp/Hed rim for a "bulge" disc, compared to a flat one) but unless you have the rim or sponsor requirements, slapping OEM decals on the cover makes you look like a poseur. Yeah, with a "u," in the bad, Francophile, euro-trash way.

Yes, there is only one thing that sounds like a disk wheel on sew-ups, and covers do rattle a bit against the rim. And maybe I wasn't sarcastic enough about the Zipp stickers, but it was kind of a joke, like the guys who put the stickers of their brand of air filter or muffler on their cars.
The only thing I did not like about my Ch Aero covers are the color of the fastners (silver) you can paint them black but who knows.

Mike and I love our covers. Rich of Wheelbuilder.com does a great job with them, cutting the cover to fit your particular wheel instead of leaving you to do that part. Oh, and our fasteners are black ;)
