What are these deposits on the wheel? Seen after swapping out rotors and brake pads.

Hi,

I have just swapped out my rotors for Dixcels slotted and dixcel Z pads and have observed some deposits on the wheels. Is this considered normal? It looks like a stream of metal shiny dust.

Picture for reference


Thanks

I used the same pad compound on the stock rotor and didn't see any silver deposits before

Do you have it on all 4 corners? If not then possibly a rock jamed between the caliper and the rotor. Pull the wheel to check for rubbing on the wheel or scoring of the rotor?
