that's right, but as long as he is cleaning the rim (and not the tire) he is fine

thanks everyone for your help/advice. Fortunately, I was able to clean it off with some gasoline. Apparently, it was just brake pad dust. I thought I had to buy new rims.

P.S. Yes, I took my Z to Lake Tahoe, but never again.

Just get some 19" volks and you'll be fine!

Let some simple green sit on them for a little while. That stuff is great.
