I'm sure someone has asked this but I can't seem to find it. I'm going to pull my wheels this weekend and clean the inside of the wheel/rims. I want to make it so I don't have to do this frequently and it stays relatively clean. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could get to keep the inside somewhat clean? I read somewhere that someone mentioned coating the inside of the rim with rainx helps. Good/bad idea? Thanks everyone!

You can try rejeX this will help somewhat. Changing the pads is really the best option.

I, too, had read about using Rain X on the inside of the wheels. When I rotated my wheels/tires at 5K, I cleaned them & applied Rain X liberally...at 9.5K, they are still very easy to clean. I plan to reapply when I rotate the tires soon. Also, I changed out brake pads from OEM to Carbo Tech Bobcats...result is a BIG reduction in brake dust!
I have a R56 MCS with TPMS and i can't seem to get the tires off! i tried once before to do some cleaning and a rotation and they just seemed to be stuck on, is there a special way? I ended up just taking them to my MINI dealer to get a rotation, wasn't the cheapest but at least i got a free wash out of it.
You can give the rim/tire a whack with a rubber mallet to get them off, or a chunk of 2x4 works. Or you can sit on the ground facing the wheel, and using both feet, kick the tire to break them free. When you got to re-install them, put anti-seize on the part of the wheel that comes in contact with the hub, then it won't be such an issue next time.
