I have the Diamond Black BBS wheels that came with the IX SE, and a week or so after a car wash, they'll turn into the anthracite BBS wheels (standard on the MR) thanks to the brake dust, haha.

Change the pads to minimize the brake dust, but it won't be a night and day difference.

In terms of removal, the best thing to do is to use a durable, high-temp sealant like Finish Kare 1000P on the wheels and wash them regularly with (automotive) soap and water.

its the nature of the beast, you cant really minimize it, everytime you brake, brake dust sprays, its pretty much just how often you want to wash the wheels to keep them clean, at least you have black wheels so it some what blends in, i have the stock enkeis, EVO 9, and after about a week from a wash they turn to black, nature of the beast

Change your pads, if your stock running Hawk HPS's is a nice change, cut dust down for me by at least 1/2 of not more..

You'd have to order it. You can get in on ebay or at any of the online detailing stores like autogeek.net.

If you do get it, stop by the detailing forum and we can talk about making things easy for you. I'll remember your username. Good luck.
