There have been several posts here on the forum showing the covers on cars - actually doesn't look too bad. I had the hats on my rotors powdercoated before I put them on the car - if that doesn't hold up well, I just may get a set of the covers you mention to dress it up a bit.

Oops! I looked it up after and found those posts, I need to take a closer look at my hubs.

You could just paint the hub fairly easily any color you want. I've done this in the past. You could also buy a set of new rotors that are plated so the hubs won't rust. Brakemotive has 4 drilled/slotted rotors with pads for $180 including shipping. I have them on my car, as do many others here on the forum. Their performance is excellent, especially considering the price might tend to make you think they are junk. They are really very good.

Thanks Jeff, I'll check them out. I looked at my hubs earlier and they are like a charcoal grey with no rust or other blemishes.
