    Rim = HOT!!!!

    Hi, like the topic says, after a ride, my front mag is DAMN HOTT . I cant keep my hand on for 2 secs, the tire is not that hot. The mag is original for honda accord 91 exr. The rear mag is less hot than front one. Is is normal? By the way, I just went to the garage to replace my pads, could the piston of the caliper is dead?

          yes this is common, magnesium is a very flammable metal. its used in the casting of these oem rim, cheap alternative. but used as a alloy it has very good properties . if you notice there is no aftermarket rims with magnesium every apparent. this metal has poor heat resistance, so dont sweat it, its normal.

              Theyre hotter than the rears because you use your front brakes more. Brakes get hot, and that's the heat source.

                Are BOTH sides on the front the same? I only ask because a few years ago I had a caliper freeze-up on the driver's side, and the pads were completely gone. I could spray the wheel after driving and the water steamed off like crazy..... Warped rotors can also cause the axcess heat you are feeling.

                  Before I got my accord from my brother awhile back he had some problem with his rotors/brakes or something, I forget the problem.. I can ask him, but what would happen is his rotors would literaly turn red and almost melt the hub caps.

                        werd. also, dont know if you have only front discs or not, but discs are much hotter than drums as far as giving off heat. they also, as previously stated, give off more heat since they do more of the actual stopping because of the forward weight transfer.
