i read all of those before posting but I should have clarified that I have 36k on the clock now. It hasn’t gotten worse then it did when it had no miles on it. It’s just always been ****ty.

i will check these out as well. Thanks!

I have carbon ceramic on the Z06, you'd never use that in a tow vehicle...

Might not be able to stop the dust.... But,
i am am experimenting with different products to slow the stickage to the wheels...

So far scrubbed clean and turltewax ICE spray wax..made cleaning easier... But still clings to wheel.

Just rescrubbed.... And used Adam's Machine paint sealant,by hand, and hand buffed off , gonna top with Adam's H2o Guard and Gloss in 24hrs after sealant cures... Hopefully hydrophobic properties will also help with dust clinging, or make super easy to wipe off.... We will see

I was just going to post about this same issue, and I think I had posted before in one of the earlier posts. I just got back from a 2k mile round trip 95% highway driving, and mine were horrible, especially front right. Wondered if I had an issue. Sounds like it may be normal.

I put EBC Green Stuff Pads on my 15' Super Duty. It had the 20" Chrome Wheels, within a week of around town driving the ft wheels were black. After a week with the new Green Stuff Pads the brake dust was minimal. Then I traded it in ..
