Default Rotor covers

Has any 1 ever bought these and installed em?

If so do u have to remove the caliper to get them on?

I thinking about buying a set to cover the rusty center.

Any info would be great.

The reason i ask is because it looks like the caliper would be in the way to just place them on the spindle.

Thanks guys

Not sure which ones you are looking at but the ones I bought were Chrome &very nice looking both in the picture &also when I received them the only problem & maybe I look at them wrong but the only covered the part of caliper that is covered by your wheel &they were 200 so I only put one on & put apiece of cardboard between the wheel &just put lugs on by hand I sent them back& they kept 20% for returning them.

Just curious. Why don't you simply paint the center of your rotors? It's extremely easy to do and if you use the right anti-rust paint, it will be very durable. You also get the benefit of being able to choose any color you want. Just my two cents. I don't like add-ons (esthetic) unless they serve a true purpose. But, if you want chrome then you have no choice but to get the covers.
