    I was thinking about getting those too! I'm wondering if the steelies under them will look ok as they'll be showing more. If you get them, take pics!

    I wouldn't mind getting some Mooneyes hub caps for the steelies.

    I was looking at those moon hub caps too. Those look sweet! I strongly suspect that if you drive 'eco-friendly' which I also suspect most of us do here, you won't have to worry about brake heat up issues.

    The reason I didn't pull the trigger on those was because the extra 1 or 2 mpg with them will take forever to just break even with the initial cost of buying them.

    Oh man, again I have to say, they DO look nice..

    Here's what I really want to run on it. I think these would be awesome! !

    As Charlie said, if you don't drive hard (or live in the mountains) you won't have brake heating problems with 100% smooth/closed wheel covers. The rear of the wheel is still open. He's right about cost though... it would take forever for the fuel saving to pay for them (if that's your motivation instead of just for looks).

    I decided a while ago to leave the steelies for now. The stock hubcaps are pretty meh, so I went the classic route after trying two different hubcap styles. Before:
