My wheel are ceramic coated with Optimum Gloss Coat.
I also use a Kranzle power washer. This past winter, I bought a set of Wheel Woolies from Phil at Detailers Domain during his Black Friday sale. Haven't tried them yet. Excited to see how the work this driving season. I dry the wheel with the MasterBlaster.

Endless MX 72 is a near unicorn pad for street and light track use. Excellent pedal feel and almost zero dust. Using these on my Audi & BMW for several years with excellent results. The TTS has got PCCB's so dust is non-existent.

Thank you. I just hope one will fit between the big reds and the inner wheel barrel. Clearance there is very tight on the GT3.

I put the Hawk pads on and they definitely help with the brake dust but there is still the problem with the rust from the rotors which really looks bad on satin black wheels. I am air drying the wheels and then driving the car for a few miles to get the rust off the rotors and then wiping down the wheels to remove the rust particles. Then I apply some type of coating which gives a bit of a sheen and makes it easier to clean the wheels the next time.

Drilled rotors store the dust in the holes. You really need to use a pressure washer on them every time you clean to clear out the holes or that is the stuff that eventually gets released. The solution I used on my Boxster was Girodisc rotors and EBC Reds. Those wheels remain almost as clean as my PCCB equipped 911. The Girodisc rotors are slotted and keep the pads clean of buildup. I just hit the rotors with a strong water stream to get the residue off. No wheels remain dust free even with PCCBs. Dust from the road collects on them as well as the dust from pads/rotors.

Won’t happen. Especially with matte black. It’s even worse than your standard gloss wheels. If you get PCCBs, issue is gone. Otherwise you’ll always have to clean them in every corner. I feel your pain. If they were glossy , they would clean easier than matte.

Wax/ceramic doesn't do anything to keep wheels clean or make cleaning easier. I've tried several. Soap and water...and wheel woolies.
