Permanent Brake Dust Fix ... Latest Mod fixes that ...

Well, I had these done for the race tires, but when I picked
them up they looked so dayum sharp I had to use them on the
street tires.

The place is doing a bunch of work for hte Pro Stock and the
Pro Rally cars, mostly in International Red and Chrome Yellow.

These guys know what they are doing ... They cleaned up my
race wheels and powdercoated them while they were
horizontally mounted (evenly). They also bake them at less
than 350 degrees so everything is still the same. They plastic
blast the styuff before coating and it came out great ....

I do need to paint the center caps to match sometime ...

Whatta think? No more glaring brake dust ( evil grin ) ... LOL

Even though they are anti-chrome (good), I have to also go with:

"Looks like *ss up close. Need a shot from farther away."

Very Unique...now give me a shot from far away. This would probably work better on a black truck.

Well I saved the pic and reduced the size so I could get a look at the wheel from a distance so to speak. Ummmmm "it didn't help". Actually a smaller pic made it look like you drove next to a truck laying down hot tar as it splattered all over your wheel.

So I would have to echo the reply of JimJr and add "Dirty A$$".

I personally wouldn't put those on my L but hey if you like it that's all that matters.

Hmmmm? You don't like the looks of brake dust because it makes your wheels look dirty, so you have them powder coated to make them look dirty all the time. Very unique approach. I guess with that theory, the next time I fear somebody might egg one of my vehicles, I'll beat them to it and do it myself.

I'll bet that you ain't runnin his brakes -- or using them like he does.

I don't care if you had Telfon-coated wheels, run them on a road course for 20 minutes and they will be wasted. By the end of a track weekend, my wheels are dark gray.
