Ceramic Wheel Bearings?
Does anyone know if changing out the OEM wheel bearings with ceramic bearings show any improvement in reducing rolling resistance and therefore improve acceleration or mpg?

It does some, They also last longer. But it is better for track use.....

do they require constant maintenance? I usually consider anything made for the track to require constant maintenance.

Not much I think.... I have them on my Motorcycle and I use mine on the street not track and I do not have to maintain them. Maybe different for cars though. The onlything you might have to do is re-pack them with grease...

They do not get as hot as the OEM metal ones. They help dissipate heat through out the hub and wheel.
