I would not want flat black wheels. They actually look dirtier with brake dust than silver wheels. I had flat black wheels before on my car about 10 years ago..

The brake dust comes off as a brownish color. On silver it makes the wheels look grey. On black wheels, the brake dust makes the wheels look a rust-like brown color. Really nasty and it looks like your wheels are rusting. The dirty silver wheels looks 10x better than dirty black wheels.

Your best bet for not having brake dust stand out is a glossy gunmetal color.. like the stock 219M wheels.
