Brake Dust Covers
 
Does anyone know where to get brake dust covers for the 17" wheels on an '03 Z?

Pep Boys has 15 & 16 inch.....Nissan Parts doesn't carry them and the idiot who answered the phone said places have discontinued them....didn't know why....mumbled something about air getting to the brake pad...

Advice? Know where I can get them??

Help Please!

You really shouldn't use them. They do stop the air circulation around the pads and rotor. To eliminate brake dust replace the stock pads with either Hawk HP or EBC Greenstuff pads. NO DUST! (front only available now)

I have Hawk HPS (High Performance Street).
My front brake dusts are gone.
After I installed Hawk HPS, my front brake dust are simular to the rear stock brake dust which is A LOT less than before. (My wheel always looked Gunmetal but now, its Silver again!!!).
Highly recommended.
I was considering Greenstuff but after I saw around 80% of Greenstuff owners' complains, i chose Hawk HPS (I saw only a few complains on HAWK HPS) - Search Greenstuff, you will see a lot of complains.

Just get some Hawk HPS. raceshopper.com has the pads for $65 including s/h.

Concur BIG-TIME on the Hawk HPs pads! What a difference! BTW, I got mine local at Pep Boys for less than 65 bucks, including tax.
