I was thinking about getting some brake dust covers for my wheels, tired of cleaning them every week, have a 2003 E500, any reason why it would be a bad idea?

This has been verbotten for as long as I can remember. They cut off the air flow to the rotors. Do what others have suggested, put a couple of coats of Zaino on the wheels and the dust will wipe right off.

This is 100% correct! These covers you are talking about will guarantee warped rotors and other problems that Mercedes will NOT cover under any kind of warranty or endorse. I am not saying that rotors are a warranty item, but you never know how hot the calipers will get if there is not air circulation.

Wheel design is not just for looks. The fact that dust is getting out on the rim means that there is great circulation and your rotors are cooling as much as possible. An E500 generates a lot of energy and needs all the stopping power it can have!

I would personally tell you DON"T DO IT!!!
