wheel /disk simulators

Hi People. I'm getting some 17X9 crome cobras installed soon. I do not have 4 wheel disks, and do not want to spend the money to do so. I am worried about how my drum breaks are going to look since the cobra r's is such an open faced wheel. I was told I can get wheel disk simulators.
Has anybody used these ? How do they look on the car?

Thanx in advance.

Please don't.

They don't look real or right.

Basically, it's a thin aluminum disc that is sandwiched between the wheel and drum. (Remove wheel, insert disc on wheel studs, reinstall wheel).

There is no caliper, and they're very thin.

I'd suggest that you paint the drums instead of getting one of those fake rotors.

That sounds like a GREAT piece of advice.
