Looks cool, but they only fit on the stock wheels. Might be a good father's day gift though. My dad's silver alloy wheels on his ranger look gunmetal or black after a week.

That...and for me..its defeat the purpose of painted calipers...also..wouldnt those reduce the aount of ait getting the the brakes...so that after a hard stop..youd be in a hole if you had to stop again real quick....doesnt that warp the rotor?

^ lol

It does defeat the purpose of painting your calipers, but doesn't affect the operation of the brakes. It merely slides onto the lugs. (take off your wheel, put this thing on it, put your wheel back on)

IMO, they do look pretty gay. I've seen them on an otherwise nice cavalier a few weeks ago.

said the guy with the ugliest vinyl on any car ever

anyway, the Cavy had nice rims (which I can understand him wanting to protect them) and a modest body kit (it wasn't too flashy). It was actually a pretty clean car.

From afar, wouldn't it kinda make it look like you had hubcaps?

yup! hehe...when I was walking toward the Cavy, I thought to myself, "hey! Those are nice hubcaps!" Then I noticed that they were rims and those gay dust shields.
