Brake Dust Shields?
Has anybody ever used the "Kleen Wheels Brake Dust Shields" on their trucks? I am tired of getting my wheels nice and clean just for them to get brake dust on them the next time I go drive. I have the 18" wheels with the 8 hole pattern in them. Anybody who has used these, do they work? Do you see them behind your rim? If so, do they look bad?
Thanks for any input!

I have sold them for the last few years, they do keep brake dust down. They come painted a flat black so they disappear very well, however you can get creative and paint them. I have seen some that were painted to match body color that looked really nice.

they'll keep your rims clean but in the wet they won't dry as fast and I've heard they hurt the air flow and make the rotors and calipers hotter so keep fresh brake fluid in there you don't want it to boil from any extra heat.
