I’ll raise your blues with my HT-10s and my wheels are still perfect. granted I also wax my wheels so the dust sticks to the wax and not the wheel as much. I use a proper acidic wheel cleaner… let them sit for 5 mins… scrub them up then rinse off. all this nasty brown water comes off. ---

I couldn’t even pull the pads off the rotor after those blue’s were on it for a week, it left such deep marks. The wheels were stained with burnt metal piled high on the face of the wheel. It was starting to come off when I washed it, but it would take a few hours of scrubbing and it really wasn’t worth it for a neon. X… ---

it’s not how hard you scrub, it’s the chemicals / clay bar (wheels love the clay bar) / process you use. but the driving around for a week was what screwed you. ---

The wheels I ruined were a set of Sportec rips off with **Xtreme** on one of the 10 spokes so I wasn’t worried at all. And it wasn’t brake dust, it looked like chunks of the rotor that landed on the wheel at when the rotors were hot and the chunk fuzed/melted to the wheels, I don’t know. I went out when I first put on the Hawk Blues and after I did the easy stops, then the moderate stops, and got to the aggressive stops, the car shot out sparks like I had sparklers mounted to hubs. I could not believe how late I could brake with them nor could I believe how the car sounded like a school bus but 10x louder. ---

Looks good Jellar, I’ve got Rota caps around here somewhere. I’ll be joining you soon with some Team dynamics Pro race 1.2 (Evo FQ 400) rims. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-wheels-on-the-evo/47182.md?page=3)
