Tired of dirty wheels
I have 2700 miles on my STi, I am tired of the wheels getting so dirty within 20 miles or less after washing them. What brake pads do you guys recommed for good performance and clean wheels? I was thinking on upgrading at the same time the brake lines to SS and brake fluid.
Is the Motul 5.1 good for our cars???? Any particular brand for SS lines?

I have the pagid blues, they make a completely different type of brake dust than the stock pads do. They also sound like nails on a chalk board. You got a performance car now suffer the consequences....

I'm not tired of dirty wheels. I'm just tired. And I work too much. And I have no time to clean them even if I wanted to. And I like to start sentences with and.

DO you use tire shine? If so, that's one of the main problem. I was bleach white on the tires and a gental rim cleaner. Tire shine contains silicone which acts like a magnet to brake dust. Not saying this will fix the problem 100% but you will see an improvment in the time it takes the rims to get dirty.

keep it in the garage under a car cover, it won't get dirty that way.
