its done alot of road race pedal bikes..... on the back wheel.... but as i understand it its too dangerous to do it on the front because of the effect it has on the steering....
not sure if its because of side wind or just from the air hitting the wheel when its no longer straight.... but i definately remember it being a bad idea on the front...
on the back however.... i dont see why not, as long as you breaks dont get too hot... but if your doing this you probably dont use them much... might get dirty inside if you have a chain oiler.... but i dont see that being a problem......
in answer to your question... no ive never used them..... just my 2 pence
