Wheel Finish
I love a great looking set of rims - but I also equally dislike being a slave to brake dust.
Has anyone had their wheels colored to hide the dust? If so, what color/finish did you select?

A dark gray obviously would hide the dust.
Is this purely to avoid the cosmetics of brake dust?
Brake dust can be corrosive. Not something I'd want to just leave on the wheel for a long time.

My winter wheels are anthracite color and I bought them specifically to hide the dust. They never look dirty by comparison. I would keep them on year round if the boss would let me.

I got tired of my wheels looking grungy 15 seconds into the first drive after a wash, so i had the wheels on my 996 C2 and the GT3 painted a gloss black. they look great.
On a related note, what do you guys use to strip off brake dust and road gak?
