Picked up my wife's new car 23' X3 M sport. Hard to find a black one and get a "deal" on it but I'm impressed on how well it drives, we now match!

It's a little harder to keep clean, but it looks great with all the black trim on black. Enjoy!

Might be overkill but extended shadow line w/ black wheels looks bitchin'

Very true esp with the wheels the brake dust really makes the wheels get very "brown" quickly but when clean it looks phenomenal in my opinion.

This kind of thing is why I have decided to get ceramic on my wheels/calipers after pickup - hate how dirty wheels get from brake dust, so hopefully this is a big help!

It's easier for sure, but not the silver bullet for keeping them clean.

What do you recommend because I have given up on my car the wheels are literally caked in brake dust it's a matte brown color at this point.

Oh don't get me wrong, it's still really good. I just wanted to ease your expectations. I have gone over a month without washing the wheels. I just spray them off with a hose once a week and they look pretty good. But there is still some residue. I wouldn't call it caked on. Now I just need to use a sponge and soap and it'll come off. Some people have come on here thinking the ceramic will prevent dust from even settling on the wheel.

This is one month no wheel washing with just weekly sprays from the hose.
