    See the 2013 Chevy Volt prototype on that google link you showed? That looks like a 15 inch wheel anyway, and very similar to what you have going on on your Mirage. I haven't seen many Volts around but I don't think those style of wheels made it onto mass production Volts.

    Yeah, it says "conception by artist Rick Feibusch", so I don't think it ever made it into production. It looks more like 16" to me!

    I really like those smooth aluminum wheel covers. I'd like to have those except they would be plastic. I've tried searching for them but I can't find it for my 14 inch steel wheels.

    says the front wheel drive has chrome plated ABS. That may work.

    I never saw any real difference. Alas, I had to give up on them because they kept spinning off down the road! I went through two sets of them.

    Best thing yet, they save fuel! Wonder what Metro says to them. There is an old thread deap down in this forum about someone dutch-wheeling a set for themselves. Of course, no good if they fall off.
