Default ''Wheel Help''

Ok people I need some advise!! I just put some 20''x10'' (Chrome) Fuel Mavericks on my truck. Check My post, its pretty sweet; the only problem is that I am having to clean these bastards every 3 days or so because the break dust is so bad on the Ford!! I wash them and no joke one 5 mile trip to town and they are coated in dust.

It seems that most people on the forums are not fans of chrome wheels, is this why? Would ceramic pads make that much difference?

Do black wheels show dust as bad (mat finish or gloss finish) and is brake dust as harmful to black and machined wheels as it is to chrome?

Last but not least do black and machined wheels look good IYO on a black Platinum? I am on the fence!!

Let me know your opinions.

bigger tires and wheels make the brakes work harder, causing more brake dust.
