get some SOS Pads from Dollar Store.
Clean the Inside of each wheel.... 4 Years, my wheels are clean from the inside.
PS: Mine were Bakes Black brake dust on Stock 162s. (the inside of each wheel.)
4 sos pads and running hose did it. (1 sos pad on each wheel.)
Also Point to note I cleaned installed new rotors also at the same time...
so I took time on each brake component and really removed every spec of Brake dust. Brake Cleaner and a few sanding foam pads.
Caliper Brackets, anywhere where brake dust accumulated.

also the rear wheel squeak during slow turns. look it up.
bend that metal.
I also adjusted my ebrake while the rear wheels were off. 4 clicks now.
Thank you for the advice but personally there is no way I would take steel wool (aka sos pads) to my powder coated wheels. Not sure how you didn't scratch the hell out of them...
