One thing that IS annoying is the way these things loosen up over time. I check them and have to pound closed the slight gaps that appear about every week. I think the noise and the loosening comes from the rims flexing slightly as I drive.
Oh well, I still like the way they look.

All it took was a thin bead around the inside and outside of where the hooks meet the disc. It made the noise go down by about 95%, I'd say.
As for fitment, I've heard the hubcapmike and JCWhitney steel discs don't fit as tight as the Moon aluminum discs. I have the latter, and the fact that I couldn't lose one if I wanted to was worth the extra money.
I've considered getting rubbing compound, and polishing the Moon discs, though I'm terrified of ruining them. It's still tempting, though. Having a mirror shine would put every pompous-ass in town to shame.
