Yes, get rid of those noisy plastic hubs. I replaced mine with the ones that push onto the rim. No more noise! I found a great set on eBay for about $20.

I replaced mine with hub caps that look like the camry hub caps from Wal mart. Works fine, but still looking for alloys...

I had the same problem with my now totalled 2000 Altima. The hubcaps were awful and squeaked and it was totally embarassing with everyone hearing me come down the street....That being said, I took it to the mechanic and after the oil change mentioned to him this horrendous squeak in the hubcaps. He took them off, adjusted them somehow and they were fine up until the day the car died..Hope that might help.
