well yah, simple as that, I did something stupid..these pads I got are making my wheels look atrocious...what is the best way and the best things to use on these laces?

i got the biggest laugh outa what my friend said to me today, hes like, well put straight bleach on em! I'm like yah, and get out a stopwatch and see how fast they corrode?!?

very funny...

A toothbrush and a decent wheel cleaner works perfectly. I use Orange Blast wheel cleaner (made by Greased Lightning). It'* one of the best I've used. The wheels should be cool when using it. It takes time but it'* worth it in the end.

time and patience my friend.

then you may want to look into Kleen wheels dust shields

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That'* MY pitch !!!!!!!!!!!

Here'* the eBay search link for Klean Wheels. Just find your year and design on the chart

I've got a set on mine and I love them. No more brake dust to worry about

Patsy says Meguires Hot Rims and a wheel brush are your friends...

His look great and it'* simply weekly maintenance..

Yes Meguires Hot Rims works really good only wheels with lots of diffrent holes and spaces in them.
i used it on my wheels and they have all of those rivits around them...

Don't the dust shields inhibit the cooling of the brakes? Or is it not that substantial? (I know they have vent holes in them).

They're a good idea, though I like the look of painted calipers and rotors

but you can hardly see them through crosslace rims anyway.

I've haven't noticed any adverse effects from mine. I don't believe its' a substantial amount considering the flow across the back of the wheel

Megs has a special brush for 'laces.........

Ultra-Safe-Wheel-Spoke-Brush
