Ceramics produce nearly NO brake dust.

Yup, PCCB = clean wheels for months

When I do need to clean them (usually after driving through dirty wet roads) then I use an extra long wheel brush...

wow those are beauties. I'm not so hot on aftermarket wheels but those are perfect. I would love to see how they would look on mine in matte black.


Regarding the PCCBs: I can go weeks/months without really cleaning the inside of the wheel and just take a soapy micro fiber towel and wipe the inside and its clean, same with the calipers. Afterwards it barely looks any different since theres is so little dust in the first place.

Its so much nicer then the our 964 where I take it out for a 10 mile drive after washing it and i have to wipe the wheels clean again.

This is on my friend Nick's Turbo...



They are 20" P40's with 'brushed' silver finish (a lot more shiny than mine)
