Your driver rim and brakes can get too hot to touch due to excessive friction generated during braking, especially if the brakes are applied frequently or forcefully. This heat can be exacerbated by worn brake pads, which reduce their effectiveness, or by insufficient cooling airflow around the braking system. Additionally, heavy loads or driving down steep inclines can increase the heat generated. Overheating can lead to brake fade, reduced performance, and potential damage if not addressed.
What else can I help you with?
Why would your driver side rim get hot?
Rims get hot due to brakes getting heated. Most vehicles have disc brakes in the driver's side front. Disc brakes have 3 major parts, pads, calipers and disc rotors. If your brake pads have worn down you can be causing scrapes or scratches into the rotors. Heavily using the brakes can also cause the rotors and the pads to become "glazed" over due to heat.

04 alero front brakes get hot why?
This could be for a few reasons, but if they are getting hot without you applying them, I would suggest that they are sticking and causing the pads to rub on the discs, or if they are drum brakes, the shoes on the drums. If they are only getting hot as a result of using the brakes, I would suggest checking that the brakes are balanced properly, and that the front brakes are not doing all of the work/ or that the back brakes are working at all.
