14" BBK + wheel + rock = sucks
Got a rock stuck BETWEEN the caliper and the wheel... it thoroughly scored and tore up the inside of the wheel for several revolutions before being grinded to oblivion. The damage is only estetic.... will post pictures later.. still sucks.
Advantage of 13" kits I guess...

that's what I thought too... the odds are small... yet people get hit by lightening, get attacked by sharks and win the lottery
Rally cars use plastic "shields" on the edge of the caliper that lean on the inside of the wheel to avoid getting rocks in there...
maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to look at one of those...

I fixed caliper with a black permanent marker... it's barely noticeable, lol. Good thing about black calipers
Fixing wheel is going to be more tricky...

I would've bought new ones, but I've never found any as comfortable.

Problem is that these shoes get pretty hot... doubt the marker will stay there for long time...
