Those brake dust covers hinder rotor gas dispersion or general cooling. They are detrimental and a bad idea!

I know rotors rust, I'm talking about the center piece where the lugs are. They are exposed after i put a nice wheel on, the hubcaps hide everything.

flat black hi temp duplicolor spray paint is the easiest. I've only seen those rotor covers for corvettes in the past.
