ACEL, Thank you for taking the time to do your testing and post your results. Congratulations on coming up with a good looking wheel cover design. It looks like they could be factory.

As always, when we see wheel covers on this site we would love to see how you have attached them securely and avoid damaging the alloy wheels underneath. Also, from your post I assume that the finished wheel covers were tested on a different day. If you find the time, it would be interesting to see A-B-A testing on the same day and if you see your tank mpg averages going forward.

Thanks again for your efforts.
