    If you wash your wheels on a regular basis you don't have to worry either :cornut:

    Not a problem. We are good at keeping our cars clean. Plus Skooby has aftermarket pads that do not dust as bad as the oem carp.

    Hey... That coal dingy black was a custom color. I was trying to go with matte finish. It just turned out coal miner grey.

    They look great Chuck.

    After working on the pads and rotors in the last week. I noticed how "experienced" my summer tires were getting.

    So I decided to trade back to the all season tires I had resting comfortably in the garage.

    Plus the all seasons were mounted on black wheels. Sweet.:Thumbsup:

    Seriously though, I did the penny test on the summers and Mr. Lincoln's head was showing every time.

    Guess I will run with these for a while and see if I can pick up a set at the end of the season on closeout price.

    Turned over 66k miles.

    Perfected the line of the sweeping right-left-right 670W to 315N ramp.

    A good day

    Picked up a set of 2010 R56 S front calipers and lines recently, painted them red today. The old R53 is about to have the JCW upgrade on the cheap, just got to get my hands on some R56 S or JCW rotors that are economically priced. :Thumbsup:
