Default Wheel covers to stop brake dust/good or bad?

Thinking about purchasing some covers for my wheels to stop all the brake dust from messing up my rims, any reason not too?

Yes, decreased air flow to brakes, hence brakes get hotter, and increase possibility of warping, plus brake dust buildup on pads/calipers. Just go outside and wipe down your wheels once a week. Also try lighter braking and antisipating your stops more.
