OK, I have the same prob on my 06 too. Stock hubcaps, squeak like hell. I tried buying new caps but there is no lip on the wheel to attach the caps. Or am I missing something? The caps on the car are bolt on type right now.

same thing happened with my 01 cavalier. i took it to the dealer and they put felt pads on the wheels where the hub caps were rubbing and causing the squeaking.

mine do the same thing... roll the windows up and the sound goes away. its not bad enough that im going to cry about it. or just take the hubcaps off and roll with steelies. might look good on a black car.
