wheel dust protection

Anybody ever try these? My front wheels show dust after just a few miles.

I would only be concerned about adequate brake cooling.

For what its worth my mechanic insisted I put them on as soon I got my SL. Haven't done it yet but plan to, according to the ad they increase air flow and cooling.

I have them on my 300E - had them for about 5 years and they work well. I've never noticed any decrease in braking efficiency despite my dealer's warnings.....

Thanks. I think I will get a pair and try them out the next time for a rotation.

I hate cleaning wheels after every drive.
