White wheels - suggestions

I like the look of the white wheels on my white 6GT3, but they get dirty almost immediately due to brake dust.

Is there any product which can be applied to reduce the amount of dust that sticks?

Failing that, I will get them painted, I suppose. I am not one to clean wheels every day. I have seen black, and I know I wouldn't like red/blue. Anyone have pics of white with metallic gray (like meteor) or other dark color?

TIA

Check out the really cool wheels on this one. I am saving my pennies for a set.

Not digging that look, personally. Plus, it still has the problem with white showing brake dust immediately.

I like the black with the polished edge a lot better than the solid black. Gives it some good contrast.

I just finished washing those white wheels and that sucks; I don't want to have to do that evey week. lol My dealer said $150 per wheel to paint them black. I wonder how much extra to get the polished rim/edge.

have you every thougth of getting some 19" gt3 wheels on your 6gt3? i've seen a few guys do that and it looks great. as for the pricing, i got one of my wheels repaird and painted (face only) and it cost me $105.

I'm generally not a fan of color matched lips but that looks pretty damn good with the black centers.

i've got white wheels too. luv the look but hate the frequent cleanup with brake dust from iron brakes. ceramic brakes for less dust.

A product called Rejex will help.

yes, i've heard from people that applying rejex will keep the dusts off the wheels. personally i haven't had that much luck. the cure time is long and it lasts a few months. i still have to clean my wheels

Yup, picked it up from a dealer in El Paso, of all places; just this past Friday. It was on consignment.
