Default Brake Dust Cover Question

So I found these things.. brake dust covers.



I'm sure they wuld work, but they look like tehy might make the brakes get hotter and thus cause them to warp easier. What do you guys think?

If your worried about to much brake dust go with GM ceramic pads. I don't think you will like the look of the shiels once you put them on.

that, and they really don't work that well, and they'd hold in heat, and not to mention they would look weird...

If you want clean and long lasting, put on as set of Hawk HPS pads (and Powerslot plated rotors).

Just another "Gizmo"
I can't see how they would allow the brake area to vent.
Hot brakes.
Warped Rotors.
Can't see the nice job you did cleaning and painting the Calipers.

I can see guys with $2000.00 wheels lining-up to buy them, though.
ANYTHING made to keep the Big-Buck Diamond-Cuts clean ought to sell!

With stock Brakes and Mag wheels ... I'd go soap and water; first!
