I know this is a dumb question but I am getting a lot of brake dust on my rims and it is making my rim look really bad. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

 

buy new breakes/rotors...?

 

i replaced the brakes not to long ago but not the rotors

 

1. Brake dust shields.

2. Wash rims every day.

3. Don't brake often.

 

i have the shields. I just didnt know if there was something else i could do

It is tough, I have even used brake pads that claimed to give off less dust and it hasn't worked for me. Well you could go back to drums in the rear to help somewhat.

 

check your rotors they could be bad causing your pads to get eatin up quite quickly and gittin your wheels all dusty

 

ok i will check them

 

Try Ake Bono Ceramic pads. They produce virtually no dust. But they sacrifice bite for cleanliness. Personally Ill take dirty wheels if it means my car will stop better.

 

All brake pads create dust - there's no getting around it!

Some dust is worse than others - will even corrode alloy rims.

Some dust is darker or lighter than others - will be more noticeable.

I run Hawk HPS series Ferro-Carbon pads and they're ridiculous on all accounts...





I thing is... I haven't found a pad that works any better on the street, sooo...

Wash your wheels more often - that's my advice!
