heavy brake dust on wheels - still an issue with '08-09 MINIs?

I don't know why, but the same wheels on my '09 Clubby get far dirtier faster than they did on my '03 MCS, and I use factory only brake pads on both.

When the Clubster needs new pads I'm going to try something else......

I love my factory black wheels. No problems with brake dust on the wheels or my horizon blue paint. I just wash the wheels with the rest of the car and Hydro every few weeks to keep them looking shiny.

I like the looks of the black wheels Little Joe.

Black wheels actually look better with a little brake dust on them, they sort of shimmer or glow...
