Default Dark Graphite Wheels

I hope this is not a duplicate post but believe me I have searched everywhere for a post about this but nothing came up. I just purchased the 2017 RX 350 FSport which I love and can't stop driving it. The vehicle has the dark graphite wheels and they look so dirty all the time. Anyone know how to keep them looking nice and not so dirty? Please help, I've always been about shinny wheels and don't want to start hating my new RX b/c of my bad choice. Wax won't help b/c they are coated and don't need waxing.

Switch to ceramic low dusting brake pads.

Thanks for the response. How do I go about doing that and do you have any idea of the cost involved? I'm in Louisiana, USA.

Search through the RX vehicle forum, or post a thread asking for recommendations for a low dusting pad. It is a common thing for owners to do, so you should get some good info from other RX owners. Cost for pads isn't usually too high... <$100 front and rear for parts.

Here are some that I found on Rock Auto for cheap, but again, ask other owners for recommendations based on their experiences with particular products.

Centric Ceramic Pads: Front Rear
