As for brake dust, that is the primary reason I use them, as my carbotec pads leave a thick dirty black grease over the wheel almost immediately after use, but the caliper covers slow the process to cleaning wheels every few days rather than every day.
And yeah, I get the finger point and "rice" from the inexperienced. I'll take that rather than constantly cleaning that black paste on the outside of the wheels.

Clearly an "experiences my vary" situation. I had some on my Talon for about 3 months and they were a nightmare.
