Heat sinks for your front rotors. Used with safety wire. Helps cool the rotors when the car is tracked. Remove the front wheels to install them. Loop the safety wire around the spokes and through the small holes. Don't use them if you don't track the car.

They aren't the same metal as the rotor and will cause galvanic corrosion over time.

From the Owners Manual:
Caution
Do not leave rotor cooling rings
installed after a track event, as
this can cause corrosion with
long-term use. Rotor cooling rings
are for race track use only. Race
track driving without the rotor
cooling rings may result in brake
pedal fade.
OP, please read your owners manual.
