I going to get flamed for this but I like them when they're a bit dirty.

Yeah I guess it is...but I hate to ride in a dirty car...especailly such a nice one.

Putting a good coat of wax on the wheels will also help with the removal of dust.

Well, it may make sense in that a daily quick wipedown of the wheels takes a minute or two; keeps the car always looking good and saves a dirty job. I would be in the camp of if the wheels and tires look dirty, the car doesn't look its best.

Leaving brake dust on the wheels can also stain and eat through the clearcoat. I really love the S-Line wheels and would much rather avoid the stains and flaking with a quick wipe down...
