Question dust shields (wheel) ?

Looking for you input. I just don't like the look between the front & rear.
With just disc brakes on front & drums on rear it looks funny. Do you think shields would make it look better ?

thanks

Ive had the ones from Air Ride Tech. I had them on my show truck. There very nice its just they have alot of problems. Wont clear the brakes on most fwd cars or slight rubs on the caliper making and awful screetching noise. Or if you have a deepdish rim, they are to big do to dish. My dish was to big so I had to have a machine shop cut them for me down 1/8 of an inch.

I think Ern covered this, but the flat ones such as the Air Ride Tech wheel plates will not work on the front due to the caliper overhanging the hub. They would fit on the back.

There are products such as Kleen Wheels to work with factory wheels. It's a dust sheild that covers the inside of the wheel and is contoured to the wheel. That would hide the front and rear brakes. They don't do aftermarket wheel applications, and they don't look all that great either. It's just a thin piece of stamped aluminum (like a pie tin) and they usually cut little fins in them.
