Keeping Wheels Clean
Hi Everyone,
First time poster. Has anyone seen or heard of disk brake covers that keep the dust from accumulating on the wheel? I seen them years ago with a sand filled outer tube that helped keep them balanced. They just fit between the rim and the rotor. The concept seemed good but I didn't try them at the time.

Depends on the rims you have.
The rotors look cool on my truck wouldn't want to cover them up.

Wayout1,
Welcome aboard!!!
I have heard of the discs but never used them. 54, rotors do look cool. From past experience the easiest way to keep wheels clean is to stay on top of it. Keep the wheels up. Don't let the dust gather. Clean the wheels once a week. If you take the truck to the car wash they usually don't clean the inside of the wheel. When I (not often) take my truck to the car wash, I wash the wheels before I go.
There's only a few things in this world that look worse than dirty wheels.
