I've read the Smooth wheel cover Wiki in depth and about as indepth as it gets regarding brake cooling is, "it may block air flowing to your brakes." I'm looking for real world experience, not supposition of what I already know: Yes, my brake cooling will be affected, but how important is that really on a road car? I'm not doing any sustained braking, and couldn't the argument be made that with a reduction in cooling flow my optimal braking temperatures will be reached sooner?
