Even with fully closed wheelcaps the wheels are still open on the inside, where the brake disks are.
When the brake disks are vented they draw air from the axle and blow it at the edge due to centrifugal force. It would not matter much where the air is coming from.
Brake fade is serious business but I think the moonies are not to blame. Failure to use engine braking is, like going down that mountain in D.
