Your best bet for not having brake dust stand out is a glossy gunmetal color.. like the stock 219M wheels.
I guess you are right dude. I love the look of the grey 359s when they are completely clean. Ive recently become obsessed with black wheels but have never really thought about how the brake dust would look
