I went with these exact wheels on my '14 British Racing Green MINI Cooper S. I didn't want silver, and black go well with the green paint. I think they will be no more difficult to keep clean than a silver wheel.
I ordered them on my F56 and have them on my R56 and love them. That's always the first thing people ask me about is the wheels. I find they don't show break dust as bad at the silver ones but being black they do show scratches more just like a black car does. I think you guys will love them.
It would depend on the finish itself. I am hopeful that these wheels don't have a cheap, thin coating. An actual scratch would be more noticeable on a black wheel, of course. But I'm willing to risk it. I am especially careful with my vehicles.
I really love the anthracite option on the CM wheels. They're basically black with a matte finish. They don't really show brake dust and they're easy to clean. I wish the F56 had some like that. Gloss black is as bad as silver in my opinion.
