Does anyone else have a problem where the rims start to change color? Soon after I bought my liberty I noticed that there was some kind of brown stuff on them, I could wipe some of it off with my fingers or a towel. The rest I have to scrub off with something.

Is this normal? or do I have a underlying problem? breaks?

brake dust, change to ceramic pads and it will be much better.
