Brake Covers would this work on cavys?

I know a lot of people dont like them and think that its a ghetto way to upgrade your brakes. But me personaly i love the look. A lot of Minitrucks have them. They sell them in stainless steel, or black i think. They fit between your rim and your studs. They say that they dont make them for cavaliers because of how the front caliper sticks out.

Could you modify this to work?? I was thinking of getting sheetmetal and cutting it to fit inside the wheel.

I bought some brake dust covers for my cavy a while back. I can't remember where I got them from though. I returned them because they sent me the wrong bolt pattern and I never reordered.

id have to disagree, i have seen them on a few show trucks though. mostly because show style minitrucks usually dont make alot of power, so theres no need for big brakes

just get a big brake kit all around so that you don't have to hide the brakes.

Just my opinion

Big brakes would be the better way to go, the covers look cheesy and you are going for a nice clean smooth look, I think they would take away from it.

covers are usually just to block brake dust since show cars usually have nice rims

WOW. just WOW. If you have to lift a car to clear the big-ass rims you got for it, they don't belong.

As for the original question, there is a company that I got them for on my Escape when I had the factory rims, and they made them for pretty much everything. The key is that the good ones fit the rim exactly. They actually pop into place on the rim, and they don't come off easily. The function is to keep the rims clean.I'm not a huge fan of them, but I was tired of my rims getting black constantly. They actually help in cooling a tiny bit, too, because they have vents in them that draw air to the brakes.
