1995 Plymouth Neon mileage: 125,000. I recently noticed that both front rims seem to heat up under normal driving conditions. I've had the front caliper assemblies professionally replaced, which has reduced, but not eliminated, the heating. Is it normal for front disc brakes to heat up enough to make the rims almost too hot to touch? (There are no noticeable signs of a pad dragging or anything of that nature and it does seem to occur equally on both sides.

During normal driving the brakes and wheels do get hot. Make sure that your brakes are not dragging. If you have aftermarket rims, they may be blocking the air-flow which keep the brakes from cooling properly.
