Howdy and welcome to the site http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Though I like the idea of being able to minimize the need for wheel cleaning, I'd suggest taking a look at the following thread before making the decision to order kleen wheels.

http://xc70.com/cgi-bin....l=kleen (http://xc70.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=1488;hl=kleen) and http://xc70.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=329;hl=kleen

Perhaps an alternative could be found here: http://xc70.com/cgi-bin....1;t=560 (http://xc70.com/cgi-bin/ib3/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=560). Just an idea http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I felt I needed to add some input here.  Over the last 20 years or so my family has put over 750K miles on our cars with Kleen Wheels installed and NEVER a problem.  The number 1 reason for warped rotors is over torque and inproper tighning sequence NOT heat.  My wifes 2002 XC-70 has Kleen Wheels since new (12-27-02) and 19K miles and the wheels look great all the time.  Unless you have red calipers that say Brembo or Ferrari on them who cares to look at them.  And NO. they do not look like hubcaps.  I feel they look great because you see the wheel and nothing else behind it, the Kleen wheel is black.  If you road race or something like that, than yes, Kleen Wheels MIGHT have an effect on cooling.  If you are like most people and just drive the car and hate dirty wheels a few miles after cleaning, get a set of Kleen Wheels.
