Are more spokes better?

lsturbointeg · 06-29-2018, 04:23 AM

eh?

Its all up to you in terms of design. Doesn't matter if its a 5 spoke or like a 20 spoke, just make sure the rim is made properly. Cheap replicas have a reputation for cracking & breaking.

How hard do you want to work cleaning and waxing them??

LOL so he's asking regarding spokes on wheels? I forgot the wheel model but it's the OEM that comes on the F11. that would be a PITA to clean

5-spoke's are easy to clean. Even the barrels. And I dig that low speed chop.

Those are the ones I was talking about!

I mean, if you buy the right brake pads, there could be minimum cleaning involved. I use EBC as I’ve had good luck with it so far. There is dust but it’s an organic pad. The dust easily comes off.

You could also use a wheel sealant that helps keep brake dust building up to a minimum. I use Dr Beasley's Matte Wheel sealant once a year along with Chemical Guy's Meticulous Matte Wheel Sealant after every wash and the brake dust literally comes off when i use my pressure washer
