Agreed, I would think that at best the only cooling taking place would be on the spacer itself, even then I'd think it would be very small. It does make me wonder how the air flows in the barrel of the wheel...for all I know depending on wheel design those spacers might keep the hot air rotating within the wheel rather than dissipating it away. It kind of makes me want to lift my car and get the wheels moving and insert some smoke to watch what happens.

It's BS. Just another car part modified to look different than the rest using this modification as the selling point.

the reality is that even if that design worked it would only be efficient to the hub surface of the rotor and not the disc itself.

If you want proper disc cooling you'll need to vent fresh air from the inside out or get fan type wheels that can vacuum out air from inside the well.
