i put the new rims on and almost all of my vibrations on the thruway stopped.

aka im not a fan of those alero rims that need to be secured to the LUGS, especially when the mechanic i took my car to over cranked them so i needed a hammer to get the alero rims off.
So you are bitchin because a mechanic didn't do his job correctly? The centercaps are anywhere from 16 -21 years old depending on the year of your car, things don't last forever.
