Yeah, they totally scratched and squeeked on my 1997 Saturn SC2 (RIP). On the front passenger wheel, they also had the unhappy tendency to pop out when I hit potholes. It was always the front passenger wheel, so I think it had something to do with the physics of my Saturn's FWD. Don't really know for sure. If I were to do it again, I would go with the authentic racing disk that is the screw-in type. I have alloys on my SW2 because it came that way used, so I have been hesitant to put screw holes in the wheels. But, maybe I should reconsider.
