Excessive Brake Dust
I seem to always have excessive brake dust buildup on my wheels. Rain or shine and even just a mile away..Is there anyway i can prevent this..or is it normal..man, i'm tired of cleaning my wheels everytime i go somewhere! My car is a 2010 Acura TSX with 20" RonJon legends.. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..pls.see link http://www.flickr.com/photos/42788425@N07/5623986180/http://www.flickr.com/photos/4278842...n/photostream/

Doesn't look like brake dust to me. Brake dust does not accumulate on wheels as rusty orange spots. Brake dust is just that, dust. It accumulates as a homogeneous coating of dark grey/black/ sometimes reddish dust. That my friend is straight steel rust left behind by water.
To me, those pictures look like water is sitting somewhere, turning orange from oxidation of metal and spraying out when you drive, leaving the oxidation behind. In fact, in the photos I can even see where it's coming from. Look at "brake dust 2" and focus on the small drainage holes next to the lugs. You can see that they are rusty on the inside and you can see that the rust continues from the hole radially outward towards the lip down the face of the wheel.

A cure perhaps?
@tob..thanks for the suggestions..it looks like some members are using epoxy or silicone caulk to block the back side of the hole..I might just try it..just wondering whats the best thing to use?

i had the same problem. water sits in the small holes between the lug nuts. our wheel hub is not coated so they rust very easily. so i just got high temp clear coat and coated the whell hub and problem solved.
