Default Brake Dust Shields???

For some reason my wheels/rims keep getting brake dust all over them! Someone told me to order some Brake Dust Shields. Are they worth the $40? Or should I get something else to help with this situation?

More expensive breaks don't dust as much.

Yeah, I see a lot of newer rangers around here, and the front wheels are like almost black, and the rear ones are silver, drives me crazy. I'm assuming its just the breaks Ford uses.

Yeah, at least try new ones out, and if anything...when you need breaks, you can always put the originals back on. Your not wasting money, just spending it sooner than you would need too.
