Hi John,

A couple pointers i can give you on Brake dust and rubber on he back of your wheels.

SO far ever wheel i've put on a car has had the back of the wheel powdercoated or painted black ( except the little mini-truck )

First of it sure does make cleaning brake dust a breeze, not sure about your rubber problem.

But it will help.

Valve stem - stick them on the outside - stay old school

Brakes - here is my suggestion.
Bear used to make a very simple 12" front & rear set up with PBR Calipers. Why would i suggest these. Reason why is simple you can get parts at your local autoparts store. Since you frquently use or should i say Abuse your car and sure would suck to have to wait to call Bear for special parts .

Keep it simple and don't get caught up in the bigger is better.

What you have on the car has been working so any upgrade is going to be a huge improvement.

Heck I had a 12" front & rear Bear kit on one of my Syclone projects and it was a blast to drive. When the pads went bad I went over to D&M corvette and just picked up new pads. When i Broke a cailper bolt - back to D&M I went.

Sure was nice knowing i could get parts with ease.

As for wheels - Concept 1 with Polished hoops, black centers & backside
