From a designers point a view, the round bulging fender is aesthetically pleasing. It adds a soft robust line to accentuate large wheels. Because typically the focal point of car art design revolves around the wheel design.
Aerodynamics and engineering are only considered very little if at all in the mind of a designer.
This truth does not apply to the design of a race car.
