Do "KLEEN WHEELS" really work???

[Stephen R.]

I had them on a previous car and thought it would be a good maintenance item. What ended up happening was warped rotors... and reduced brake dust.

They initially seem like a good idea, but as sakigt said "they look like crap". Even if you are okay with putting a lid on your brakes, the black coating on them eventually starts to look chalky .

Get some P21S wheel cleaner and when the brakes come due, get the good pads. Also, get new rotors (not OEM!!) and shoot them with hi temp paint. Check out www.rockauto.com to get an idea of costs.

Bought set of 4 for mine as i am going to chrome wheels, They do have the turbo-vented kind out, And they have different colors too. Gosh darn it, they work on the rear drums, but as for the front--since i went a size bigger to 16's the shield hits the brake caliper-too close, So --guess I paint the rusty caliper

Get a set of ceramic brake pads, virtually NO dust!!

I must agree on the ceramic brake pads--I had changed mine out on my 2005 PT and the dust completely disappeared. Chrysler uses some cheapo pads on the PT--my first set didn't even last 20,000 miles.

Now on my 2004, I am back to non-ceramic pads and lots o dust, UGH!

Get better pads. The stock rotors are thin and eventually will warp with the Kleen wheels. Heck, the stock rotors warp even without the Kleen wheels.
