I remember seeing some "brake dust covers" that shielded the back side of the rim from the brake dust. Sorta a concave shape as viewed from the outside of the rim. If you found and used these and used tinted lexan then the "clear" wheel covers would probably work ok in regards to dirtyness.

found em at JCwhitney...but about $40 eek!

edit: cheaper on ebay but not as cheap as the pizza pans.
