Some of the very early 737's (100/200's I think) had an inflatable seal around the tyre to reduce drag, however as I understand it this system was found to be more trouble than it was worth, and Boeing dropped the idea.

I'm guessing the increased drag is minimal.

JT, most single-engine Cessna's have hubcaps so to answer your question..........lots of us!
