Yeah, I guess I was talking about the caps in the old photo. I almost wish I had those. But I also think first generation Insight wheels would be awesome, as long as I can get them in 15's. These days too I am thinking about larger tires on the 15 wheels, for lower highway rpms. I suspect that might be much more valuable to me that the Insight wheels. For me, I want these mods to look factory--of as close as possible. I want to have to explain most of what and where I made changes. Are you going to ABA test these covers? I would recommend it. I made, installed, and removed front wheel spats because of negative impacts on FE. GOOD LUCK!

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
