The only problem I have is on some cars they do not look nice so I came up with a solution. I have no tried it yet but I will give it a shot. I am going to Heat up a piece of plastic and make it into a "bowl" the shape of my hubcap. Attach once inside and outside. This will do several things. One make them smooth like these pans you guys are using. (awesome novel idea BTW!! I do not think it ever would have dawned on me to use them like that) Second its clear so they are invisible and third they are clear so you can still have nice hubcaps and aerodynamics and putting BLACK on the inside will keep the caps clean and brakedust and dirt off :-)

My problem is I only have 2 of 4 caps. Some smucks stole two of them while we were in philly moving my mother out. $5 a pop and they just had to steal them. Alas I can not find them again and all the "current" hubcaps I would not be caught dead putting on my car they are so butt ugly :-(
