This may sound stupid, but I’ve considered either buying a new set of wheels, or blasting and powder coating the factory wheels a bronze color that is more the color of the brake dust haha. I think they would also be a decent color match with the supersonic red… Tell me I’m crazy and save me some money please.
Absolutely NOT! lol, BRONZE would look sooo freaking good against the red. There is a Tacoma in my neighborhood red, close to supersonic and he is rocking the bronze TRD wheels. Man does it look great. And I do agree that they would probably hide the brake dust better.
 
I've never had a car before that produces this much brake dust. I guess it's just the price of admission.

Lol this car sheds it faster then a dog or cat sheds their fur/hair. I clean my wheels drive around the block and poof they're covered in brake dust. Some other ppl have mentioned swtiching to different pads to try to reduce dust. But it is annoying and even worse (first world problems) the front brakes are sooo big, you can barely fit a brush behind them to get inside the front wheels. Rear wheels no problem. But i am going through diablo chemical guys wheel cleaner thats for sure.
