Default Spec VRs really dust :O



Believe it or not these wheels have less than 200 miles (including one autox) on them I put the VRs on when I installed the calipers in preperation for an upcoming event at MO. Was afraid they'd be a little scary on the street and autoxing but much to my suprise they're not bad at all below they're optimum operating temp. Can't wait to see what they feel like when they heat up

Wheels weren't the only thing dirty though, whole car was ready for a wash/wax look at this nasty back bumper



Don't worry guys, I took care of the caR when I got home. Wash and wax are done







Hope these pixors took killed a little Sunday night boredom

I find it amazing that even when your caR is dirty it looks better than mine after a waxing

BTW what lugs are those?

Just washed w/ Armor All car wash and waxed w/ California Mother's Gold carnuba wax. That's all I ever do, no paint cleaners or polishes or anything.

You'll love them. I still think they're the best pad available for this class automobile.

Damn your wheels were smothered with brake dust. It looks like mine, but I have Hawk pads.

If they are Blues, make sure to clean them asap and never let them get wet and then dry, or you'll never get them clean again.

VR's may dust but they are signiificantly kinder to wheels, rotors and even your cars finish than Hawk Blues.
