If I had 4 or 5 spoke rims where the covers jumped out and said "look at me" I wouldn't have them. But the stock wheels and the covers are a perfect combination.

Not a fan. I have brembo's on my camaro and when I see this I go..... Not as bad on an SUV, but still. However to each his own... if it works for the person, then who cares what others think.

I figured that when people see them rolling, they assume they are an upgraded brake package . When they see it parked and look close, they will see that they are not real screw heads and then realize that they are just covers. There is nothing wrong with putting covers over the calipers, they clean up the look behind the wheel. I never try to pass them off as an upgraded red caliper set, they are covers. Its like putting at tip on your exhaust pipe, it doesn't do anything for it, but it sure does look better than a piece of pipe sticking out the back of your car.
