It's really not a problem. I proved it to a friend by finishing a drive and reaching around and touching the brake disc with my bare hands. It was barely warm.

If you're overheating the brakes, you need to change your driving style. Since you're asking about smooth wheel covers, I must assume you've already made that modification, so again - no problem.
