Your brakes will stay cooler and fade less, but unless you're doing heavy towing or road racing you shouldn't be encountering brake heat problems.

I'm not saying don't do it, just know that you're getting good looks but won't see a change in brake performance for normal driving, or even "spirited" driving unless you shelled out for some seriously sticky rubber.
but they are so purdy!!!!
