I think that JUNK does refer to the wheels. Which is why I replied that my wheels balanced easily, are true, and have no driveability issues,

Got some pics of those wheels. I've been thinking about getting the SS wheels and doing the same. (black)

Default Weight of SS wheels

I really could not tell a weight difference when I switched to the SS wheels.

I had the center caps made from a company on the internet http://www.webxtremes.com/ I just e-mailed them and asked if they could make it. Super company to deal with. The guy sent me several proofs before I saw what I was looking for.
