Even I was surprised at what a difference it made-it was suddenly a "sport wagon"! Within 12 hours of parking it in my front yard with a for sale sign on it, a guy stopped to look at it. His first comment was "Those wheels are really cool". He bought it for full asking price, and I believe the wheel covers made the sale, lol! Jeff
