I also have black wheels with polished lips. With the old crappy front pads, the wheels would turn some brownish color in a few days. Now with the low dust front pads the wheels stay black for a couple of weeks. It's worth the trouble of getting the free low dust pads, after comparing the 2 sets. I had mine changed last month.

Is this brake dust problem found in the older models only? I've owned my '09 IS for a while now and have never had this problem... should I expect the dust as the car gets older?

My IS 250 was build in late May 09 and the dust will cover the front wheels in 3 days of driving and looks specially nasty after a rainy day. I just whip them once a week...
