I DD my car, and have gold wheels. The brake dust is so bad that it pisses me off! It turns my gold wheel into black wheels within a week. Is there anything I can do to the wheels or the pads that will reduce brake dust, probably to ZERO!

Brake dust FTL.

 

run no pads?
lol.

wax your wheels and you'll be able to just pressure wash it to clean off the dust.

 

use differents pads and yes, waxing your wheels do help a bit

 

Get pads from the 2003 model. You won't notice a difference in performance, but there will be significantly less dust. I did this on my 2005.

 

yep either use the AP1 pads or wax your wheels. i personally have waxed my wheels and the dust just washes off no scrubbing neccessary.

 

Buy a miata.

 

My AP1 actually gets very little brake dust on the wheels. I know this can be a real problem, as my '04 Mercedes C 320 is a real "duster." But with the AP1, not problem

 

what type of wax are you guys using?

 

I just picked up a can of this stuff:

Swissvax Autobahn

So far it seems to work really well. The wheel finish is impossibly slippery after applying it, and so far, brake dust sort of just rinses off the wheels. I don't yet know how durable this stuff is. I do know that it's pretty expensive though.

 

waxing the wheels--i'd probaby never have though of that! i'll have to try it.
