Not saying it's difinitive, but that's the first thing that comes to mind...

Obviously i'd rotate/inspect the tires, to rule them out, and see if the sound moves, then take it from there.

Good Luck

I used two can finished one and used a little for the 2nd can, and I did about three layers per rim for now just to see what it can handle ( rocks, rain etc.... ). But I'd definitely recommend going thicker.

Black is the only interior color offered for these cars (Dash. panels, etc), with the exception of the leather, which was also availabe in black/Red or Black/Chaparral combinations.

Here's a link to the Brochure for 2005 with all the options and info.

Not new new, but new to me. I was a little worried about how they'd look since everyone says say no to chrome on the 8, but I don't think they look half bad

I think they look good man :P id feel diff if your car was red or yellow because then itd just be too flashy, but theyre somewhat understated with the titanium.
