I'm with both Jeff and Larry..............
I've had Kleen Wheels on my '80 300SD for about 200,000 miles with no
adverse consequences. They most certainly have reduced brake dust
buildup on the bundtcake wheels. In order to increase inward air
flow, I spread the vents in the KW's a little wider. Of course,
whenever I took the car to the track or to autocross, the KW's came
off. I also was changing to different wheels and tires for those
events.
Remember the KW's are rotation specific so that the vents encourage
airflow inward. If put on incorrectly, air flow over brakes/rotors
will definitely be reduced or halted completely and overheating could
then result.
Take care,
Chuck
