Thanks for the input guys..

I'm on the edge about getting them painted white / gloss black or just getting some dark agents, but then again they're way too common and I'd like something alot different and unique.

Does anybody know how much the painting of wheels actually cost?

Might go with white & get a blue wall around the wheel.. so many choices lol

avevage around $150 a rim inside and out

My GT-E rims are a massive PITA!. The Brembos just seem to spew brake dust. Anyway, I'm thinking about plasti-dipping then gun metal or black (either way I want them gloss).

Thoughts of gun metal on a grey car? I'd prefer gloss black, but im concerned about the brake dust still showing up......

I like bendix ultimate, but some are keen on remsa pads.

maybe google dustless pads, but that's not my area of expertise. some one with track experience might be able to shed some light on the best performance pads that are fairly clean

whats more important to you, clean wheels or brake performance?

usually the less dusty pads are crap and chew out rotors.

something has got to give.

actually the bestter performance pads are the ones that are harder on rotors...

I changed my oem spec pads to bendix ultimate on my ef, and I swear to god it felt like I had upgraded the actual brakes. and the dust was not too bad...
