Is there a pad out there that won't take paint of the rim? My guess is no... I could be wrong.
I have clear pads but it's leaving some nasty black shit on my rims... its not taking off the paint but if you try to clean it, the paint comes off a bit. I also can't stand the sound of clear pads. I got a tip to slant the pads so just a corner is touching the rim and that helps a bit.
I prefer black pads but they take the paint off.
My plan B is getting new rims. So whats the difference between Chrome and Polished? Will the heat of the pads dis color the rim?

As for the wheelset i wouldn't recommend buying Chrome Rims if you want them to last a long time. Chrome just isn't what it used to be say 5 or 6 years ago. Loads of new rules & regulations mean it just doesn't last like it used to! I would recommend getting Raw/Polished Rims myself, Something like....
Odyssey Aerospace Rims Raw
OR...
Eclat Polar Straight Rims
My knowledge is not good when it comes to parts. I just started riding last year. I had not been on a bike in 17 years. I'm just trying to figure this all out. I love brakes. It saves me from buying shoes.
Any suggestions other then brakeless?
