I have a drum brake rear end and I just got some ROH Snyper wheels. My brakes look like crap, and the amount of brake dust these wheels collect is unbelieveable. Does anyone know where I can get cross-drilled brake dust covers

Check out Jegs... I think they are $35.00. Not a bad price to pay to hide those ugly drums. 1-800-CALL-JEGS, or www.jegs.com.

Why dont you just spary paint the drums. Its cheaper, It will look better than it does now and you can always reuse the left over spray for something else.

What do you think of the solid covers, not the cross drilled ones?

SAmething I would stay away from them, how about getting some aluminum drums, with you don't have them already. I had them when I had drums and they did not look that bed. I have a set if you want them, I also have a complete disc set up.

Dust covers are bad for brakes,especially for disc brake.The reason being the rotors need plenty of air to keep things cool,thus preventing warping .These covers will keep the heat in longer and will warp the rotors or shorten the life of the drums.

You can just paint them a gloss black with spary paint. I painted mine about a year ago and it still looks good.
