Brake Dust Shields

So I have 20's on the truck, and I clean them weekly, but can not seem to keep them clean. I am looking into getting some brake dust shields...anybody know of a good brand that would fit on 20's?...Im also thinking about painting them.

I can't remember the company's name, but there is one out there that makes shields, in differing sizes.

I personally, would investigate different brake pads to find some that produce less dust. Installing shields will change the look of your wheel for sure.

I just did a google search on "brake shields" and came up with pages of choices.

Good luck.

Yup, the OEM pads are dusty and really not that effective. With that much added rolling inertia a brake pad upgrade will do you a world of good and if you have the $$ rotors would help too. I upgraded to Carbotech and Bobcat 70,000 miles ago and glad I did!

Upgrade the pads or get black rims, I never notice brake dust

Seriously, never ben a fan of OEM rotors and pads. Like Squid said you have a lot more wieght with those 20's. I got EBC slotted rotors and yellow stuff pads and haven't noticed a lot of brake dust but then again, black rims doesn't show a lot?
