I got them from a company called " Cruisin' Classics", there web address is www.shrunkenheads.com. They are out of Pennsylvania. They are actually called ..racing discs. I saw them on RatRods and some cars on the Salt Flats soooo I shopped around and found them.

They're more of a cosmetic product than performance or f/e. I gave my generators to superskunkd for his versa and they look dope!

Back to the op's question the product you are refering to is a total rip off and gives absolutely no benefits in the way of increased gas mileage.
