I never recorded anything.
They were noisy from day one,so I knew they were deforming along with the wheels.
Texas and the Interstate maintenance crews haven't figured out smooth road surfaces yet.I suspect that pot holes are the culprit.
I had screw-on aluminum MOONs on the CRX and they flexed as well,eventually hogging out the attachment holes.But I never lost any of those.
I gave up on the stainless steel copies for the T-100 and went with 1970s GM stainless knock-on covers.They're a bugger to get installed but don't make a peep and stay 'glued' to the rims.
Perhaps some steel wheels are more robust than ones I've lived with.All of mine deform as they roll,stressing the covers.
Glad you're having better service than I.
