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.
those wheels look beautiful man
I have Rota centercaps, PM me if you still need them.
Seems like an unnecessary jab. :nono:
Hey Jeller that’s a sweet flush look. Do you live near eastern hills mall? I live down the street and never see any Evo’s around at all.
I live near the eastern hills off sheridan. Thanks
Jeller
Looks fantastic man!
Take a cruise east on main street sometime, my apt is across from clarence HS, red rx7 in driveway.
peace,
steve
Seen it the other day when I was bike riding. Very nice :tup: used to have a couple rx7’s myself.
Jeller
you own the red fd and tdi jetta at the eastern hills mall? I sold you 1000 dollars in brakes.
Ha yeah. I brought the jetta in and told you it has wicked engine knock. Mechanic guy said “whoa, let me take a look!” Then I told him it was diesel.
Thanks for the thumbs up! Love the 7. Might sell her tho.
Wheels and car look great. +1 for centercaps
what when was this? i am not familiar i knew it was a tdi and what they sound like which tech i have some stupid people who work here.
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.
Oh sorry man, I meant “you” as in sears auto center. Yeah it was some skinny mechanic kid. Which guy were you? Guy with old keyboard?
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.
