I installed Kleen Wheels dust covers inside my 17" rims.

I've heard all the arguments AGAINST doing it secondary to heat buildup, etc.
Well, I'm old, I remember HUBCAPS, and DRUM front and rear.

Also, if I'm driving so hard that I have a brake heat build-up problem, then there is probably a lot of other stuff that's gonna go before the brakes do.

BTW, they work beautifully. I have to clean the rims maybe once a week.
