I've never seen a truck with hub covers. I didn't think they cared that much.

BamZipPow -

Thanks for the info. I wanted to say they were on a Schneider Semi, but I forgot the name. I have seen the Deflecktor video before but I didn't recognize them spinning.

Moon discs are in short supply now that NASA is grounded. Houston we have a problem finding Eco friendly rims and hubcaps...
