Re: rims keep rusting

What is rusting? The tire itself? The rim? The rotor?

Re: rims keep rusting

it sounds like you did something wrong when you did your brakes. its hard to diagnose stuff over the internet but doublecheck your brakes back there to make sure they arent dragging which would cause more dust obviously

Re: rims keep rusting

Did you buy the value brake pads by any chance? Cause if so, those do create allot of brake dust as they are made out of cheaper material. It's allways a good idea to buy the more expensive brake pads especially if you have aftermarket rims.
