Default Why is it not worth it to spend $10 every 10k miles on new rubber inserts on the OEM arms?

They work wonderfully.

Default I needed at least one new arm (drivers side)

Dealer quote 47$ for just the arm, so I figured for the price of 2 arms I could get 2 aero arms AND two new blades...

Costs less per mile driven to get the nicer ones.

Default YES Definitely worth it. Especially at World Impex's price. I ordered 5 sets for some local...

Just don't put any kind of Rain-X on your windshield or you may get skipping in light rain.

The look much better than stock arms as well and are almost invisible from inside the car due to their lower position.
