Thanks for the suggestion, CapriRacer. I made your suggested changes, which will contribute to our body of knowledge. Thanks to all of you for your compliments and input. My testing is a better product, thanks to your suggestions.

CaliforniaCivic, yes I'm satisfied with my 17" tires/wheels. My wife & I think their appearance is perfect for my car, and they barely hurt mpg performance. I can drive the mules with Hollywood Flipper or classic full moon hubcaps most of the time, and switch to the 17" set when I want to show off the car.
