Default Brake Dust Rim Shields

Does anyone have an opinion on the use of brake dust shield inserts for rims (Kleen Wheels)? Some people like them, others dont. Even if it shortens the life of the pads, is it worth the looks of clean rims. May also save the rims from eventual pitting. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt

pop the rims off and give them a good cleansing/waxing. that way brake dust essentially wipes off whenever you want to clean them.
