Possible Rust Accumulating On Isf Stock Rims

[ISF_Starlight_Black]

Hi

I've recently been trolling around the various Lexus ISF message forums.

There have been discussions when brake dust forms on the stock ISF rims and you leave it unwashed for a period of time, that rust forms on the rims.

Can anyone in Australia confirm this fact?

They are saying there are some design flaws in the BBS rims..

THanks.

Hi mate,

True i think ... My rims are showing some form of not sure you would call it rust however. its in the corner of the spokes maybe where the first owner didnt wash the rims properly and left brake dust in there .... its def pitted the surface...

Will try and get some pics..

Seeing as the rims are aluminium I would doubt it is rust, plus the rims might be clear coated (painted).

It could possibly be the clear coat breaking down.

Are you saying you have this on your rims?

If so photos would be good.

My car gets delivered in february. So I have no experience. Just wanted to get opinions from Aussie owners. Are your stock rims ok

That would be great if you can post pics. I heard its a pain to remove. How Much of an annoyance is it. Is it very noticeable?

How often do you wash your wheels?
