You will know when black wheels are dirty, believe me. They show dirt more than any other color. Not brake dust, I'm talking about dirt. They always look dusty. I have them on a Carrera GTS with a circumferential machined lip. The only time they look nice and shiny is after washing them, which I have to do often. Admittedly, here in South Florida the dampness helps the dirt stick to the wheel, especially on the leading edges.

As you can see, I chose the machined wheels for the Stingray. They always look clean, at least on the non-z51, as brake dust is non-existent and the dirt doesn't show.
