(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Brake Dust w/ OEM Brake Pads I've got stock brake pads all around and stock MS3 wheels. Seems that about a day after I clean the wheels, they're just as dirty as they were the day before. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I wax the wheels or not, they get pretty grimey after about 40 miles of driving (mostly highway). The rear wheels stay spotless. Anyone else having this issue? Thinking of changing to EBC Green Stuff, maybe that'll lessen the BLACK brake dust coming from the OEM pads. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score 1) Live with it or 2) Change wheel color to disguise dust or 3) Change pads to a lower dust type of compound. I went with option 1

| Not Ranked : 0 score Necro post, what. OP, you could learn to downshift when slowing down and engine brake. I know people here are really against that sort of thing but really it doesnt hurt the car and it helps keep your wheels clean. At least this way you dont have to stand on your brakes everytime you want to stop.
