Default Front Rims Always dirty after driving

Anyone have an issue on a 718 Boxster 2018 where the front rims are really dirty after use. Especially Inside. The rears don't have this issue. Just curious if its a break issue or just the aerodynamics different up front. I did notice air vents inside the wheel wheels.
19" Boxster S wheels.

Use the Armorall wheel protectorant. Repels dust and makes them super easy to clean. Walmart has best price on it

If you have a persistent problem that bugs you, look at some front pads that are virtually dustless. This assumes you are not tracking the car and require maximum performance. On my 2006 Cayman S, I have Hawk performance ceramic pads. Very good pads that require a little warm up for serious use, but produce zero dust. If I decide to do an HPDE event, I will change them out for something more track-oriented.

Most cars do that, the front brakes engage first and do more of the stopping. I own cars from 4 different manufacturers and they all get brake dust on the front wheels first. As someone else mentioned you can find pads that are dust free or less dusty.

Thanks for the heads up. I may look into this.
