Good god. That's horrible. It doesn't take much to clean the wheels once a millenium. I don't even clean mine that often and they don't look anywhere near that bad. Amazing.

I accelerate and try to see how much 'air' I can get off of these speed bumps.

I agree, that looks my wheels after my 17 mile commute to work....

The brake dust collects like crazy on my Lariat wheels, so I certainly can feel for the bruther.

However, that is nasty!

My wheels look like that each week. ~500 miles per week, Atlanta rush hour traffic, live in an apartment, yada, yada, yada.

Doin' the best I can under difficult circumstances.

Man, that is nasty! I can't believe how some people let there trucks get so nasty! But of course, i don't wash my work car much either. And it gets pretty nasty. But a new lariat pickup getting that nasty? But some people could care less, I guess.

Actually...I usually only go 1 mph in parking lots so everybody gets a good look at my truck. When I come to a speed bump I slow down a little more and go over it at an angle (habit from my days driving Trans Ams and Corvettes).

Guys I've got 12K on my truck, drive like a maniac and dont get near that amount of brake dust and sometimes I let mine go a month or two at a time between washings. Yeah this guy needs to clean his wheels but thats just the sad reality of the world, its a Ford truck, not a Lambo or a Bently. Its been raining here off and on since Friday and I've been out grouse hunting as much as I could over the weekend and up till now...my trucks filthy, I've got sticky orange/reddish clay mud all over my truck and have no plans to wash it again till the end of Febuary when hunting season ends here.....sue me ( and I'm sorry if that image causes some of you nightmares).

Ok OK that was me. It was a loaner off the stealerships lot. I was driving it while my computer was being replaced. I was a bit mad and slammed on the brakes ever 50 feet during my 60 mile commute for the three days I had the truck. Childish......yes, but it made me feel better!
