986Jim is infamous around these parts
Yeah the black is so much easier. My current P car has silver wheels and I am forever cleaning them, drives me nuts. I'm gonna switch up the brakes and do something else just for that reason. I thought about coating the wheels but I dont wanna bother to be honest.

The turbo twists look great in black and when they start to get dusty the finish just sort of changes to matt. Remember just because you can’t see the brake dust there as much, if you don’t clean it, it will eat into most any finish. A good wheel wax will help aid those of you who don’t enjoy washing. The worst wheel I have ever cleaned was on a ford explorer. They have some super fake looking bbs spoke pattern that a toothbrush barley fits it.
