Brake Dust Shields

I have a 2002 F150 with aftermarket 17 inch wheels. I want a set of brake dust covers to keep the dust off the wheels and the little particles off the truck. If you know of any covers that will work, please let me know. Thanks.

You will be much better off to install a set of ceramic brake pads.

I agree. The brake dust shelds make nice wheels look like cheap steelies with hub caps. Plus, I've heard some issues with lack of venting/cooling. Some better pads and maybe upgraded rotors will help and probably improve braking performacne too!
