Not because they wouldn't look good, but because they are going to scratch up, brake dust is going to gather on the back sides, and the brakes are going got get hot.

Took pix of those at SEMA. The problem with them is how do you clean them? You would have to take them off to clean all the brake dust off of the back side, OH, and they are totally GHEY... :p

I wonder if they would throw in a pair of lucite 6" platform heels with every set? :idea:

Some valve covers would be nice so I could see how much oil I'm pumping up there. :)

ummm even some nice chrome jobs SCRATCH when I go mall crawling in my 4x4 SUV, brake dust gathers on ANY wheel, and if you USE the brakes like a race car, when it is stock, they will get focking glowing hot regardless of the wheel you sport...so yeah, I'd run 'em...even on my Rhino...just don't focking run into shit...dee dee dee
