Alright. Stop and take a deep breath.

Anyone ever looked at the backside of the wheel when it's mounted?

I can barely get my pinkie between the rim and the brake disc.

It's not a whole lot better on the drums.

I don't think there's much of anything to cover up back there in the first place, never mind the fabbing difficulty, brake cooling compromise, and dubious potential aero benefit.
