It's not like I can do anything anyway though, our company's internet connection is down, the only way I'm actually posting this is that there is a coffee shop across the street from my office that I can just barely pick up a signal from to get online.


LOL, that there is dedication... or obsession. I guess they go hand in hand.

Yea, to be honest, I didn't even really get them for their aerodynamic effects (what little there is). I got them because I liked the way that they looked on a Yaris I saw a picture of and said, "Hey, those look good, and supposedly they improve your aero a bit" and even if they don't improve aero, I needed new wheel covers since I lost my other ones anyway.

Ok, picture is attached. Sorry for the crappy quality.

As for the squeaking. I drove about 1/2 a mile from the post office to my apartment and it's not bad. The only wheel the squeaks is the back left and it's more of a tick, tick, tick then a squeak so it goes well with the wobbling sound coming from the small flat spot on the wheel

NoCO2 -

Woo hoo! Now your cooking with gas! I've loved racing disks since I saw the crummy Stallone movie COBRA :

Cobra (1986)
