Kleen Wheels?

I recently got a set of 2005 Rims and tires for my Truck (see gallery).

Question is, how to deal with the insane amount of brake dust that is showing up on the fronts??

Anyone had These?

Concerns with heat? Are they obviously visable behind the rims?

Lastly, do I have a better brake pad option to help with this? The rims are nice and shinny after being cleaned, but they show horrible brownish gray haze after a few day's.

?
Thanks in advance for any input.

I have never bought them. But my wife's BMW owners manual does not reccomend them for heat purposes. The wheels are designed to pull air through them and the Kleen Wheel disrupts the air flow.

I'm thinking the heat would be one problem, the ad for the covers claim their design pulls air.

I run them on my 2000 and haven't really noticed any brake fading

Anyone else?
Recommendations for pads less dusty than the ones I got from Mopar?
