Smile Great idea

so many of us have had a problem with brake dust on the front tires... well ive just had a perfect solution get a piece of plastic cut to inside of rim size or just below and drill 5 holes near the center, slap it on and were good to go.

How the hell do you get brake dust on your tires and notice it?

I use ceramic pads - no dust. I think ceramic is a better solution because what you described could actually prevent cooling air from getting to your rotors.

I have always been told that the ceramic pads were crap, overly expensive and dont make enough of a difference that the normal ones.

Kinda like K&N Airfilters.
