Anyone who notices will not be impressed, save for those who have them themselves and are (in this humble poster's opinion) not worth impressing. From a purely performance perspective, I suspect they retain heat and restrict natural dissipation through the wheels - leading to excess stress on the calipers, bushings, and the rotors in particular.

Tactfully painted high-heat silver puts a clean OEM look on them. Way more impressive. Or any colors that tastefully matches... My unsoclited 2 cents anyway... don't know how anyone could suggest these look less impressive than covers:

Some people have developed a bias against them due to the many cheap plastic “Brembo” fake covers that have been around for years.
Lol. Which automakers are including caliper covers on their factory production cars?
