i have had kleen wheels on a bunch
of these german cars over the years.
they do work but i suspect they do
maybe cut down on rotor and pad life a bit,
but not certain. if u dont track i dont think
it really matters.

Yeah, not sure what started the discussion about dust shields. I was just referring to the caliper covers.

Which RS6 wheels by the way?
The older 9 spoke ones--started w/ those factory on my W12. Polished and forged in the D3 OE flavor. Nice. Very few sets around since I don't think they even got sold optionally w/ 4.2's. Or, maybe you mean the newer peeler/trispoke type? Also nice, plus 9 1/2's if true OE.

LOL. Not only are these cheesy fake brembo caliper covers..they are fakes of fakes as these are cheap chinese knock-offs of fake brembo caliper covers!
Maybe 2 wrongs do make a right? Nope. These are laughable and should NEVER be put on an Audi. Save them for your Civic or 98 Grand Prix.

This would appear to be a lot easier solution...
I just bought a set.

Those are so cheap looking and definitely don't belong on an A8.

What about those [no names] who have painted their calipers red and added a Bally logo to them? Hope it's allright. Besides, they are hardly visible with the turbine wheels. Now, with five spokes for the winter, well........
