Default Brake Rotor Cover?

I guess that's what you call em'. The black plastic disks that are supposted to cut down on brake dust. My question is, has anyone here used them and were you happy with them? I'm about to put my new rims and tires on and thought I might consider a set. Any input would be appreciated.

as far as i remember they are fairly inexpensive. like 30 bucks. if i was getting a nice new set of wheels i would consider trying them out. after all, if it keeps em clean longer, then they have done their job. also, brake dust can do some nasty stuff to wheels.

Thanks for the reply Goshawk23
Yeah if they are that cheap I guess I should get some. Since my Centerline's aren't chrome I'm sure they can use all the help they can get.

By the way anyone know where to get some of these covers?

Also I need to order some Hotchkis front coil springs (easy to find). But I also need some polyurethane bushings for the rear leaf springs. Anyone know where to get just the Hotchkis leaf spring bushings? Hotchkis web site doesn't list any dealers near me. I don't even know if they sell the bushings seperately.
