Has anyone tried the brake dust covers to try to keep the grime down on the wheel covers? I have the 15 in. factory holies and keeping the wheel covers clean is an exercise in futility. I just wondered if anyone had tried these and, if so, if they're worth the money. Most Mini places have them for $40 a pair.

 

I am guessing you have stock brake pads.

You are better off addressing the problem by using low dust compound brake pads. Like Mintex Red Box or similar. Generally they are not more expensive than OEM. Just have them installed during your next brake job by an independent (of MINI) brake shop.

 

Been covered already..no pun intended.

I thought about this... but I want to paint my calipers red... so i think I'm going to just buy better pads.
