Default Wheels show off ugly small binders

Does any one hate the way our small brake rotors and calipers look with some wheels?

The small brake syndrom appears to be more prevelent with wheels that have skinney spokes.

Anyway, I just upgraded the front rotors to Vette size (12.8) but they are still tiny so I cover the holes in the wheels wth black brake dust shields.

This way, no one needs to now my brakes are, well - undersized.

You could coat your calipers in **** and they would still look better than brake dust shields.

brake sheilds hold heat which will aid in rotor failure. Good luck with that.
