Are dust sheilds really necessary ?
 
Just putting my drop spindles on today and realized my kit did not come with dust shields. I called a few auto parts stores I was told they should be able to order some for me, but I didn't ask for 6 lug. Hoping I can get a set.

Has anyone had to order any 6 lug? If so, are some universal shields ok?
Has anyone gone without? If so, would you recommend not using?
Thanks much!!

Unless you go driving in gritty mud you dont need shields. Most new cars/trucks dont have shields. Better cooling with more air going over them.

Use them to keep brake dust off rims if not will look trashy.:bowtie:
