Default Kleen Wheels?

http://www.autogeek.net/kleenwheeldu.html

Has anyone tried a set of these on their wheels to keep the brake dust off everything?

Could you please share your experience?

How do they look with the factory spoke wheels?

Thanks!

I've seen pictures of them on the wheels and the look hideous. Ecklers sells them too and showed a photo of them. Just keep a soft damp rag handy and clean those wheels every time you get home.

Or at least take some water and Simple Green to the rims.
I just did these
... why would I cover 'em up because of a little dust!
Dust often, I say!

They would not look right on a vette since the wheel are to open, if you had a car that use hubcaps then it would be different.

i just got my front brakes doen on went with the ceramic brake pads and there is very little brake dust. I also use a pressure washer on the wheel and take the dust off very easily
