Why do these trucks seem to make SOOO much brake dust? I mean jeez, I can't drive 500 miles without having to clean the wheels. I did a brake job about 4 months ago. Used the best pads I can get locally. Carquest Gold or something like that. But it was the same way with the old pads. The dust is why I painted my rims black. To help hide the dust. But the damn dust is kinda brownish and still shows up bad on my black wheels
Anybody have any suggestions? What about those discs that go between the rim and the brakes to keep dust out? Do they work? Where can I get them?
I thinkin about getting a set of the Kleen wheels dust shields. I guess I should get ones for a Hummer H2 since that's what wheels I have. I figure they would go buy the rim more so than the truck. Am I thinking right on this?
i would NOT recommend the kleen wheels!!!!!!! i bought them and they $UCK!!!!!!!!!! ...1st off they r very cheap not worth the money, 2nd , they dont even fit right........man was i pi$$ed, waited like 3 weeks for delivery...took one wheel off, and that was it ......back in the box they went .........and i made them pay for the shipping.......i told them i would never refer them to anybody.....bad deal......im gonna try what Dieselrookie said...cause my get NASTY too......like in 1 day
My dad has them on his truck. I'm going off of what I've seen of his. He hasn't had dust since he installed them about 10K ago. If you google EBC brakes you can get to there site. There is a lot of info on there. They even have an application guide. I think the Green ones are the ones you need. I forget how much they are. The rotors help in the braking. They stop on a dime.
