Kleen Wheels or Wheel Mates

Has anyone ever installed Kleen Wheels brake dust shields or the Kleen Wheels "Wheel Mates"? Just curious if they are worth the money.
Thanks...

I herd they do not let the air in to cool the brakes off.

They do keep the dust out for the most part.
My Bronco's front brakes heated up and warped the rotors.
I took the things out for some target shooting--they didn't like it...
Just get a baby bottle brush anc clean the wheels.

Their website says they have "improved" venting.They call it "Turbo Venting". Did they not have vents before?

Don't use the dust shields..bad news all around..You would be money and looks a head if you just change the Pads out to a less dustier brand...I can personally recommend Wagner Thermo-Quiet brake pads as the best pad I have ever used..Quiet, dust free and long lasting..

Ditto. I use Morse Ceramic(sp). very little dust, and no brake fade.
