taurus 2002 black sut on both ront rims Sign In

Just noticed this today, have no idea where it could come from. I was sitting looking at the car and noticed the front rim was darker than the back, got a rag and wiped it there was like a black powdery sut covering the entire rim. I went around to the other side and it was the same. I have no idea where it came from.

It's just brake dust and completely normal. All cars with open wheels get that in the front. Ceramic brake pads will reduce it.

Agree - highly likely just normal but ugly. Fav ceramic pads if it bugs you enough are Centric, zero noise, less or no dust, they last a loooong time but would mean a front brake job to do right,
