It isn't about the look of brake dust, sparky - it's that when you run real race pads the "brake dust" is corrosive as hell. |

Not all real race pads have corrosive dust... just certain compounds/brands.

~7-8 individual wheels that i have personally seen in recent memory. Some were minor cracks that were caught before major issue. 2 Rota, Couple of Enkei, and I believe a Gram Light. |

I've also done bronze, but it eventually turned to full gold for the same reason I mentioned above. I'd apply more metalizer to freshen the finish which brightens the color, rather than strip and reapply from a bare wheel. If you're okay stripping and reapplying from scratch to maintain the finish you want, then disregard what I said. |

Thanks for the tips!
The wheels themselves are flat black from the factory with bare aluminum machined recesses. I'm toying with the idea of trying one with silver or copper metalizer just over the factory black? Could be a neat look with the bare machined areas adding some contrast. These are the rims I'm running: Quote:

One can per wheel, at least 3 cans for all four wheels. Any less and it'll be a nightmare to peel off later. |
