Black dust?

[jerpinoy]

Is this normal to have black dust inside the rear wheel. I'm sure it's coming from the belt but what is normal. I only have 2850 miles.

I would think it is brake dust and that would be normal.

it's a combination of many things.... dirt, brake dust, bugs, etc etc etc....
you may not believe this, but it helps in balancing your entire rotation: wheel, tire, brake disc, lug-nuts, etc etc etc.... just like a dirt air-filter will deliver CLEANER AIR to your engine.... but when too dirty, not enough air will pass thru for the design of the engine....

Brake dust is the reason that I am in love with my 2014 RTS, because the wheels are black so the brake dust doesn't show as much!

Yep, it's brake dust and other road dust and dirt. I use a wheel cleaner that I spray on and hose off when I wash my Spyder. It does a decent job in cleaning the wheel.

Thanks for asking this question I was wondering the same thing. I only have 1500 miles on my 2013 RT

Me too. Haven't cleaned my wheels yet!
