Dirty Rims

Hi everybody,
Do you guys have problems with the dirty front rims? It seems they are getting dirty more than rear rims. Any thoughts on how to clean them will be appreciated. Thanks

The fronts will get more dirty than the rears.

However, I have no problems (knock on wood) with brake dust on this car, it's remarkable. Try driving a W211 and you'll see what insane amounts of brake dust on your front wheels looks like!

I like the look of dirty amg rims. They look really nice on arctic white :-)

HAH! Actually I agree. When I've seen white or black (or maybe even silver) Benzes with the AMG wheels/Packages, I think they look pretty hot with dirty wheels. Natural "Powdercoat".

I know exactly what you mean K-A. My pop's W212 gets no brake dust compared to my W211. Did you ever try non-OEM brake compound on the W211? It'd be amazing if the W212 pads fit the W211!

I guess rims in black or dark grey get more popular for sake of no need to clean frequently. And they look cool BTW
