Default wheel protection from brake dust.

sorry for asking this stupid question but i was thinking about painting the calipers and drums opn my rex xa... well... red. then i remembered that on certain vehicles with 20's or more there's chrome plates that go between the wheel and the spindle. where can i find these? (thinking about just paintind the disks red to keep my wheels from collecting dust.)

Those disks for front wheel drive are very hard to find if made. Most are for rear wheel drive car/tucks. Some are not vented, which may not allow proper cooling of your brakes. I think painted calipers are much more bling + car show approved than painted dust brake disks. As for painted drums, well... that your choice. But, you can style your car anyway you want, thats why we are Scion people.

if you have alloy wheels or chrome you can wax them. if its chrome i'd be careful as to what you get i'm gonna try out the wheel wax this summer on mine.
