Default Black vs Silver OEM Wheels on Black Lexus IS350???

I'm considering changing the color of my wheels from the silver/alloy OEM to black.
My reasoning is because I'm highly irritated with cleaning the brake dust off of the front wheels only a few days after washing it and I think the black looks really good.
I'm curious to get other people's thoughts and opinions regarding the look, upkeep, repair costs, etc. with the black vs the silver/alloy OEM since I'm about to make a decision in the next couple of hours.
Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions!

I would keep the gun metal color. Never been a fan of black wheels.

Black looks nice glossy/shiny otherwise it looks dull also. Few days after washing and the black will look dull too. It all depends on what you like
