Black Stuff on my Cobra Rims :(
So I haven't cleaned my 5.0 in quite a while but i am pretty sure thats not what this black stuff is.... im a chick so this is probably a stupid question.... but i looked at my rims the other day and have been noticing black fine powder or substance on my gun metal black cobra rims.... is this substance coming from the brakes??? does this mean i need new brakes??? help me out!!! or do i seriously need to just wash the 5.0 ???

if its real bad.. you might wanna start with a heavy duty degreaser... keep water close, because it WILL destroy your wheels if you leave it on too long

Just PC the rims black, and dont worry about it. That was the beauty of my old 5.0... Had Black Ponies on it, couldnt see any dirt. [8D]
