hello people; In a fairly new Hemmings there's a pc. on the 91-92 BMW M5. In the article they talk about the wheels made for that car. "Engineers also designed a sophisticated multi-pc. wheel and cover system that looked more like a conventional wheel cover" The cover in the 2 pc wheel "featured a pr. of concentric rotors that directed outside air through the cover and towards the brake system to actively keep the binders cool and minimize brake fade" I read that and I was impressed.
Besides the look of a wheel do you think any manufacturer thinks about doing something like that?

Corvette had wheels that were supposed to direct cooling air to the rotors in the 80's or 90's.
