I have never had any problems with mine. I can lock the brakes at just about any speed which means the brakes are more than powerful enough. I have also never had any problems with brake fade. The nylaflow tubing failed even before my first flight but that's a separate issue. I believe the Beringer brakes require DOT 6 brake fluid. This is glycol-based so spills or drips will immediately ruin any painted surface they touch. Most important: be VERY careful when selecting non-standard suppliers for your airplane parts. I have $28,000 worth of Blue Mountain EFIS collecting dust in my basement because the company went belly up and the units are no longer supported. The same goes for my Aerocomposites propeller. Will Beringer still be around in 10 or 15 years? Will they still be making replacement parts for your system? Building and maintaining an airplane is a big job. Don't make it any harder than it needs to be. If you're concerned about cosmetics you can always have the rims stripped and powder-coated to any custom color you choose. They also come with hub caps which give you a bit more canvas to play with.
