I've been running pizza pan wheel covers (front and back) for several thousand miles, including a fully loaded trip through the Rocky Mtns. Never once experienced any brake fading.
Personally, I think the concerns regarding brake overheating with wheel covers are misplaced.

But your project shows ingenuity and MacGuyver-ness that I love!
