I think the answer is - it depends - and not just on brake dust:
if you drive on dirt roads, in pot holes full of mud or icy slush
- clear covers would be dirty a lot & will be hard to keep looking good
material properties will also affect this
I doubt you will get your plastic "hard coated" to protect from scratches
so cleaning and handling might give it a haze in time
also plastics can gather static electricity & can attract dust that way
(this would be nothing compared to the first mud puddle you hit)
But...
if you were willing to seal off the back of the wheel
sort of like the guys taping off the outside of the wheel in this thread
and you seal your plastic edges some way....
if you could get it at least splash proof - you might be on to something...
your wheels would be sort of sealed up
while the other guy at the car wash is picking crap out of his pretty wheels
you could just go in a hose off your smooth covers
with never a scratch on your beautiful wheels
you might even sell that idea - Protect-O-Matic wheel covers TM
