ok thanks everyone!

yes, that's what they were originally intended for. The cars in the JGTC and European La Mans would use brake pads that had different colored layers, so that the guys in the pits could see how fast they were going through pads based on the color of the dust on the wheels. Especially important in endurance races.

Get some ceramic brake pads, you'll notice a huge difference in reduced brake dust and of course, much better braking :)

We've got a bunch in stock, PM me or check out the vendor forum for our May specials..

White wheels are the sex, but come with a price haha

Hope this helps@

They all get dirty at the same rate. Just easier to see it on white. ;)

Different clearances. You can run wider wheels/tires in back without rubbing. For the flush look, most people use something like 8.5" front w/ 9.5" rear and tires to follow with those widths.
