disk simulators

any one have these? i know they are retarded and look stupid but i met a guy who has them on his 69 ss chevelle and they look nice. he only put them on there to prevent brake dust on his new rims but with the chrome rims they look bad ***. and he says they really do prevent dust and he likes it too because it hides the drums out back and disks out front so u dont see them.

Yeah I had ONE thats right one of those on my car when I bought it. It really comes down to form or function but If you have stock wheels you cant see those things if you have 17 or bigger than yeah they are going to be seen all the time.

But they do work my passenger side front wheel was always cleaner than the others.

i've seriously thought about using them for weekend/daily driving. definately don't look good but with polished wheels they might cut down the harmful brake chemicals.
