I thought you were talking about the metal plates that are inboard of the disks, attached to the stub & the calipers.
If you are talking about the things that are fitted between the rims & the disks, they are just there to keep your rims cleaner at the expense of cooling your brakes properly. I think they are aftermarket.
As they were not there originally, best sell them on ebay!!!
