My F sport front rims are picking up dirt/oil/whatever else that is in the road too easily!
I can clean it and literally after one short drive, the rims are already dirty. I've never had rims be this dirty so quickly before.
Anyone else getting this?

After a while, I didn't that much dust off the new pads. I'm guessing it's the same situation here?

Pad that dust more means its working a lot harder. Less dust pads means its not as aggressive.
To the OP, if you wax your rims. It'll be a lot easier to remove break dust with a simple spray of a hose. I have opti coat on all my rims and I just spray the dust off with a hose.

Yes, there is a trade off in braking performance. However, if you're a calm driver, you wouldn't need performance pads anyway. I'm guessing that not everyone bought a F sport model for performance, but rather the grille and LFA cluster. :P

Yeah, but those dusty high performance pads can sure make a difference in an emergency stop! I experienced that first hand a couple of times in my BMW 330.
Just wax the wheels like another poster suggested.
