If you don´t give a damn about braking performance when braking hard repeatedly, go for it.

If there were a simple fix to the brake dust problem, don´t you think the manufacturers would offer it? They have no interest in their cars looking shabby on the road. But brake performance is something you don´t mess with.

Another no-go vote here. Also, you don't want to alter the air circulation to/from the brakes. Just wax your rims and the dust won't build up so fast and will come off easy when washing.

I read the little sticker on the upper left of the windshield the other day. It specifically states these are not approved, and may void the warrenty.

If you go for them, take them off prior to dealer service of the car.

i thought as much...
i'll stick with keeping the wheels as sealed and dusted (with a wheel brush) as possible.
