Brake fade is scary and dangerous yes. However, I've yet to hear one situation where an ecomodder had a problem with full wheel covers...

Your vented discs will still run air through them as they are a centrifugal fan. They just pull air from behind the wheel. They just don't have the assistance of a spoked wheel which also acts as a centrifugal fan to some extent.
