Has anyone put any on inside there wheels to keep the brake dust off. how well do they work? What kind did you use? Any input would be nice.

They work pretty well. But be careful, they reduce the air flow to the brakes which could be detrimental.

One brand of these are called Clean Wheels. I was going to tell you the same thing as vlad but he beat me too it. This could also lead to warranty issues.

Thank for the info. I noticed the clean wheel ones have several holes for air flow, which should reduce the heat. Do you guys use them or just live the break dust, which by the way get all over the front and rear fenders and the front door. I was also wondering do you clean the inside of the wheels. I have the wheels that comes with the SP. It's a real pain trying to get in there to clean.

Those vents aren't really large enough IMHO.

I usually have my wheels off around once a month for a proper washing and waxing. A good polymer wax will help in keeping the brake dust from adhering to the wheel. You should use a polymer wax because they are more heat resistant than regular waxes.

TAlking about brake, mine get pretty rusty, especially after a carwash. ...Is there something I can use to reduced the rust. Is that normal for new car nowaday???
