Hot Wheels!
 
I was wondering...after about 20 minutes of driving my rear wheels get real hot...i went to wipe some dirt off them and i burned the sh*t out of my finger! is this normal?

Dont sound right to me.You might check out your wheel bearing or your brakes.

It makes sense to me if you think about it. Think about the amount of friction between the road and your tires/brakes. It should get hot shouldnt it? Good ole physics.

My tires are warm sometimes but usually isnt too bad unless the pavement is hot from the sun or your driving for a long period of time.

I would check for sticking rear calipers, or e-brake cables. Do both rear rims get hot or is it just one side? Also check the caliper slide pins and make sure they slide freely.
