Didn't go for the ceramic brake pads and wheels get real dirty very fast now. Anyone know about the "Kleen Wheels" dust shields for about $95?

Had them on a few other cars..They work great but you sacrifice looks for no dust.

I never had that issue..They have little tabs that force air in and out, around the rotors....BUT it looks like you have hubcaps on because you can't see anything but flat black.
