What the heck s this from?

I get these wierd marks on my wheels when they start getting dusty. Anyone know what it's from? Never noticed it until I had my XP8 pads on, maybe didn't

I get these wierd marks on my wheels when they start getting dusty. Anyone know what it's from?

Never noticed it until I had my XP8 pads on, maybe didn't see it because there wasn't enough dust or maybe it's coming from the pad? Is it a bug splat and the wings clean off the dust as the wheel spins?

Or is someone messing with my ride?

Looks like a hard water drop from here that dripped off the tire or fender.

It's either hard water or crop circles. Aliens like to mess with rims.
