That's one of the best things about black wheels....you don't worry so much about brake dust

well, for you lazy bums, yes.
for me, it's more trouble.
i can't see the dust, but i know it's there. so i have to wipe it with finger to find the dust and get them off with simple green. i need help, i know.

Hey, that's why they call them TRACK WHEELS

. I figure the brake dust just provides an extra layer of protection against scratching. To be honest, I did wash them after every track day, mostly because I washed the car after every track day!
