Good bye brake dust!
I am new to forum as I just got my G35C- red, prem, nav. Cleaning the wheels got old. I just ordered and installed a set of Kleen Wheels part #1351. This is for the 17" wheels only. Search the net for Kleen Wheels and you'll find tons of dealers. I paid $33.22 for a pair of them.
They will fit perfectly, but there is a protrusion on the disc brake (next to a lug nut) that you will need to cut a hole for. It cuts like butter with tin snips.
I have had Kleen wheels on my IS300, my wifes C230K and my CLK, no problems ever, so I don't want to see any questions about problems. There are none.
Get a set and enjoy clean wheels.

Its a good idea but I wont be putting that thing on mine, that shiny Brembo brakes is a beauty to look at specially watching it on the road, once you put the kleen wheels it will hide it.

Re: Good bye brake dust!
How well do the KleenWheel shields work? Do you get an 80%, 90%, 100% reduction in dust on your wheels? Do you have to take the wheels off once in a while and clean the dust off of the shields?
Have you ever tried switching to ceramic pads? I switched to ceramic disk pads on my MarkVIII exactly two days before I traded it in on my G35 [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] so I didn't get any feel for how well they would reduce brake dust.
I've just bought 18" wheels from an M45.
KleenWheels keep telling me to buy the 1351s. Where's the logic in that since I'm swapping the 17" wheels for the 18" wheels?
I kept pushing them for a different answer and they said to call back in a couple of months. Hopefully they'll have shields for the M45 18" wheels and not just the G35 18" wheels before too long. (They have the M45 in their online application guide, but their M45 link just sends you to an online "request for quote" form.)

suprhulk,
i had ceramic pads on my t-bird raybestos quiet stops, and they barely made any brake dust at all. the front rims stayed as clean as the rear. i hope they make them for our g35's.

Bigel,
Yeah, most people don't know what that lug nut thingy is. Took me a good 3 minutes to figure out that they weren't needed, and I was able to confirm with Infiniti's service department that they are there just to keep people from accidently rotating the back wheels to the front. You can simply unscrew them <lefty loosey, righty tighty>

Re: Good bye brake dust!
Hiya all,
I recommend changing the brake pad all together. Having a 350Z it drove me nuts cleaning my wheels all to often. Talking to a engineer friend at Nissan the thing about the brake pads. Is they stop great, no squeaks, with the only bad thing being the amount of brake dust.
Well what I have been runing for about 2-3 months now is HAWK HPS pads. These are a pad that are metallic and are very similar to your existing pad. Just with the exception they don't brake dust as much.
I have run a track day with them and drive with them everyday and have been happy. We sell them for the Z's now but they are the exact same for the G35. So if you guys are interested let me know. Just another alternative to the brake dust
Gya!
