Does this happen to anyone else?
Whenever it rains and I come to a complete stop or close enough to one I get all this steam coming from the front wheels. Has this or does this happen to anyone else? It's kinda weird that our brakes get that hot.

you put water on something hot, it evaporates. nothing to be worried about.
try washing the ride after driving it normally. You still get the 'steam'.

I often wonder if it helps contribute to our Rotor warping problems.
Cold water hitting HOT metal isn’t good.
I noticed we both have Bersaglio Rims. Maybe it’s inherent in the design.
If you notice when you wash the car there’s a lip where the water collects and can’t run out.
This is probably where water collects when t rains.
WHen you barke it is splashed out onto the hot metal.
It used to be a pain to dry this out after every wash, but now I just blow it out with my Leaf Blower.
