Instead of ERAChas, we should call you AdvisoryChas.

I saw where the Dow 7/dichromate coating saves the wheels from aging, although the lips are left natural and require some maintenance. Not a ton though since the modern casting process per M&A Castings' website states "WITH NEWER HIGH PURITY ALLOYS THAT ARE NOW AVAILABLE, CORROSION IS ALMOST NON-EXISTANT (sic)."

Read'em and weep.

Can organic brakes pads be used and do they prevent less of an issue in terms of corrosion?
