cheap stock hubs...

has anyone had problems with the cheap stock hubs they put on these? i keep hearing a clank everytime i hit a bump, had it at the dealer but they couldnt find anything, i was checking the hubs and they move to the left and the right a bit and the lip doesnt seem to grab the rim, think i should ditch these and find some rims instead?

any help would be great...

My Lumina will do this... Are any of the tabs broken? That is my only guess...

Sounds like a bushing or the like to me.

My HHR needed tires anyway so I also bought rims, so I can't comment on the hubcaps, but that would seem an unlikely candidate.

Funny thing about duct tape is that it is great for just about everything EXCEPT ducts.

If you are talking about noisey hub caps, but not sure.. Remove them & test the vehicle for same noise.
