set up: tarrox grooved discks, standart brake pads

Just found out that my allows are covered with red dust.

Any ideas? Do I have to worry about the brakes?

Thanks for replies.

it's probably the wear debris from the pad/disc coming off and then rusting in the wonderful UK atmosphere If you can rub some of it off with your finger then it's wear debris

shouldn't be a performance problem unless you've noticed anything

if you want to keep the alloys looking good - you'll have to keep getting the stuff off as it'll eat in to the finish slowly
