2006 3.0i Caliper Covers

I have searched the internet for red caliper covers that will fit a 2006 3.0i Z4 without much luck. Not sure I trust the cheaper sets found on Ebay. Can anyone suggest a store or website where these could be found?

Thanks!

DON"T DO IT!!!!!

Sorry, I had to. They don't look right, and they trap heat. If you want red calipers, then paint the stock ones. Please.

Check out this site: http://calipercovers.net/

I emailed them a week or two ago, and the person promptly returned my email and said they had a set for a 2005 Z4 3.0i. They just didn't have it listed on their site yet. I decided against it since I have some nice shiny chrome caliper clips. I'm afraid they'd be covered up by the covers. The covers are pricey, but I'd trust them over the stuff you see on ebay.

So I'm confused.

Isn't there anyway to partly or fully prevent brake dust from constantly soiling my wheels?

I didn't think the Kleenwheels Shields would look as good as the brake caliper covers and didn't want to just paint them because that would do nothing about the dust.
