Hi -

Has anyone painted the inside of their rims black, like the TTS wheels are?

I got a GT3 with steel brakes after having PCCBs and am hoping to done down the brake dust.

Have you tried a wheel coating and then power washing off the dust? I’ve heard it works pretty well

ipse dixit

Maybe consider switching to PCCBs?

Ceramic coat them with Gtechniq wheel armor. It will make a world of difference. Make sure you do the prep!

I've had these style of wheels before; black barrels and machined spokes with black edges. You still see the brake dust. Instead of shiny black, they look dull and hazy, and kind of dark gray. IMO, much more cost effective and effective period, to get them coated so they are easy to spray off.

Will try this, thank you!

I will be doing this as well, but just the face of the wheel. I don't want to have issues with the wheel weights down the line.

OP - my wheels are matte black. Probably the easiest color to see brake dust on. I would not recommend painting black to avoid brake dust.

It's a fools errand, black wheels show the dust but instead of looking dirty like silver wheels they just look dull.
Ceramic coating may work or do what I did installed Surface Transforms, carbon ceramic direct replacements, yes even with Big Red calipers.

Coating the wheels helps removing the brake dust, but if you want to eliminate most of the brake dust I suggest you change your pads. I changed my pads to some Carbotech 1521 brake pads after reading other member's recommendations. I was very impressed how much less brake dust I get now. I'd say it's about 80% less. Combine that with ceramic coated wheels and you'll be satisfied.

Oh wow...I did not expect that.

How do these brake pads compare to stock?

And thanks so much for the suggestion!

Do you have a link or part numbers front and rear? The websites are absolutely terrible in finding the correct pads for these cars.

Edit, called their hotline and got the numbers and ordered a set of front and rear pads.

Sonax wheel cleaner sprays on, turns purple, then power wash off. No scrubbing, works great.

I use this as well. It works great but still requires some scrubbing.

GT3 Rey

Yes. Those are it.

The pads work well. They don’t recommend them for track use but are perfectly fine for street driving.
