ISF_Starlight_Black Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacky Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to get opinions from Aussie owners. Are your stock rims ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISF_Starlight_Black Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 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? Hi I've recently been trolling around the various Lexus ISF message forums.
