Black wheels help! Urgent

[Drevil]

Final spec needs to be in in next 24 hours (after waiting 21 months )
I love the black wheels but wondering the brake dust situation on these?? I have a glossy powdercoated bmw wheels and they are constantly a mess. Clean them and they are dirty again in couple days. Any reason to think these would be better? Would sure prefer them for the Seneca blue I have in mind! Thanks !

Get them ceramic coated, and they should be easy to hose off.

Thank you

Comes off easy enough so far.

once you drive it you wont give a shite about washing it.

Just had mine ceramic coated. I'll get some photos. The paint was absolutely bolloxed once he got the wax off and 'all' was revealed.

Black wheels here. No issues. Not daily driver, though….

If it bothers you that much switch to a dust free pad in the future. BMW street pads dust like crazy.

Me too does not like dust on black wheels.........
On my Evora GT 410 Sport wih black wheels I use the next brake pads with much satisfaction.
The dust is significantly less, however no dust is impossible.

I have never found black wheels any 'worse' for showing up brake dust than silver or diamond cut (the only other options on the Emira), they just show it in a different sort of way (depending how much you clean / let it build up)

By comparison, I have had white wheels and bright green wheels, both are absolutely terrible at showing brake dust. Satin or Matte gunmetal is the 'best' at hiding it in my experience (obvious really).

I have spec'd black wheels with Seneca, as like you, I feel the black wheels go best, but you do you.

Are they silver wheel nuts or black ones to match the black wheels on the Emira? I imagine you want them to colour match with the black wheels if you're also worried about any dust showing...

Yes you get black wheel nuts with black wheels.

(I note that some early Emira deliveries got silver wheel nuts temporarily as the black ones were on back order).
