I just got a black/white and choose silver. The wheels get a ton of brake dust on them. We waxed them last week and it made a big difference. Do it right away!


I do agree that the white will complete the picture. My MA raised his eyebrows when I said silver! I'll post a pic of mine if it helps at all.

Did you already wax the body of your MCS too?

EB/W with white wheels of your choice- Looks great.
To keep them clean, switch out the brake pads from stock pads to Mintex redbox ($36-40 per set) or EBC green pads ($70-80 per set). This cuts down on alot of dust. You can also wax the wheels using Wheelwax from tirerack.com about $15.

I honestly prefer the silver wheels. I got silver on my IB/W MCS. That was my easiest decision.
