I don't have smooth wheels yet, for reasons not discussed here, but I did notice that on one of the pave roads I often travel, there is a family who has a blue GM HHR parked in the driveway... and instead of the hideous chrome so-bright-they-make-you-want-to-scratch-your-eyes-out wheels, they just have simple moon caps... Old school, brushed steel, moon caps.

I'm not sure if they did this for a renaissance movement back to a simpler time in automotive history, or if they even know they could be getting an MPG improvement from it, but I do intend to see them in public sometime and find out what's up w/ the moons...
