Never ever, you dont want to increase the heat in your brakes

Checked out the site and just for kicks looked up the part for my car - linked to a universal product, but with the following disclaimer:
"Will not fit front wheel drive applications"
I guess if I was overcome by the sudden onset of insanity and actually bought this crap, I would first have to convert my car to RWD
.I think I might rather explore the Armor All option.

Woodie, just drive in reverse.

The thing that would bug me the most about this option is that I would know the rims would be dirty behind those covers... as a detailer(even us newbies :-))... knowing the dirt is there grates enough where you see it or you don't.. :-)
