BMWs are notorious for the same. I've found washing the car and wheels prevents this occurrence and build up. Also, I read that the ceramic brakes don't create as much dust. Time will tell!

I had to go back and check your brakes. I have ceramic on my Boxster and it has no brake dust. Yes, you will not have a problem with that.

Ceramic pads on the regular rotors also leave very little dust and what little there is has a grey color. My silver wheels stay silver for a long time since I use Hawk ceramics. Even the barrels of my wheels stay shiny between washes. Lots of talk about this on other threads.

And oh yeah... I got distracted and forgot the rest of it. OP: Agree 100% that these wheels look great on your car especially with the yellow calipers peeking out.

No, he has PCCB. Brake dust won't be an issue!
