    What kind of sealer do you speak of? Like a wax?

    Just let me clarify.

    You CAN put a wax or sealer on there, but it'll burn off extremely quick and your protection will be nothing. I've taken IR temp readings of my brakes before...and they have been near the 200s.

    Anyways, you need special sealant. I use Poorboys Wheel Sealant, it's melting temperature is something crazy like 400+F, anyways. It's meant for the wheels
