Heh, heh, heh, Dan............
It's not the 15" wheels that are supported by four tiny little bolts.
It's the one-ton car......

  Nope, pretty much vibration free. Although over rough stuff (like Daun's driveway), there was a lot of thunking that Julie thought was the strut bearings. I took a second look and they look brand new, although one of the metal caps (the flat peice on top of the bearing) has a slight U shape to it. They're the same rims Chuck Blue has. We have a lot of discount tire places here, I'll have to check it out. I was afraid it was going to be some expensive piece I had to order. Having 15" wheels supported by 4 dinky little bolts makes me pretty nervous though.

  and installed them too for free :)

  this could be your problem the rims become off center
  and rubs on the caliper... do you have some vibrations
  in the steering while driving the car ?
