Anyone with matte black wheels please chime in.
Looking to pick up a set of 19" wheels in matte black finish. What is your experience with matte black wheels. Does it hide dirt well or requires it to be cleaned often to look nice? thanks

Love mine, hides the brake dust and the dirt pretty well. Usually just a soak with a spray gun of soapy water then power wash. I usually do end up drying them as well.
If I just wash and run they look pretty good.
I would wash 1/5th as much if I lived in South Florida!

I tried to PM you, but got the message I cannot because I only had 11 posts. I did not even realize there was a DVD from Braman. I left early so I don't know if I would receive one...........................

Any dark flat powdercoat finish hides dirt very well because it doesn't have a glossy shine to it. Matte BLK, Gunmetal, Grey, Charcoal, Matte Silver etc

Matte black is perfect, hides everything over the course of the week if it's your daily driver. I actually wax them as well so that it retains less brake dust and the finish stays "like new".
