Like I said, must be some hell of brake dust to make it Black! Who needs Black Powder Coat as long as you have Brake Dust!

Mine on my '04 were silver looking, but did have some spots that couldn't be reached that got black, do you clean the inside of your wheels? I always did and flushed the brake dust everytime I washed my car.

Well. it's more of a cast metal color than silver, did you buy the car new?
This is a pic from my '04.

I got dust problem even with Axxis pads and Xdrilled rotors. Gotta try Hawk next time. It is annoying.

A good way to clean the brake dust off of wheels is to use one of those Swiffer or other electrostatic sheets. As long as the wheels haven't gotten wet (from rain or puddles), the dust comes off easily.
