Waste of money. No advantage to them. Plus will look corny and over time with heat they fall off and can possibly damage rims.

pics i've seen dont look bad i'd certainly prefer to upgrade to brembo's as i have on many of my other vehicles just not looking to drop that type of money. I figured these would clean up the look of the boring factory calipers.. something to consider i guess!

Are you speaking from hearsay or from experience? I have several friends that use them and they have used them over 2 years with not one single problem. They're not made to give you any advantage, they're made to clean the appearance of your caliper behind your wheel.

I agree they seem to mount securely... I may try a set

Why not put spinning hub caps on it too. They are held on by glue and to me personally are a waste of money. And also say to everyone, I want to look cool but im cheap. If you want to clean them up just do some simple paint on them for now. And save up for some real big brakes.

I guess opinions vary but the mgp are held on by clips that slide in place then a bolt secures them in place... I love the black srt-10 wheels!

They may reduce brake dust but I dont see spending $200 for them. They will hold heat in no matter what they say. To each there own but for me i would say no.
