Someones going to have to tell me how easy or difficult it is to keep the new 2015 SRT wheels clean. I know for the past 4 years I've spent most of my wash time on my wheels. Easily most of the time I wash my car is spent cleaning the wheels. Rest of the car, piece of cake.
The Brembos kick up a ton of dust. The new wheels look like they'll hide the dust better, but curious how easy they'll be to clean. Guess I'll find out in another 6-8 weeks!
Truth be told - they are a PIA! I would not recommend just wiping them off. Well I guess it depends of your level of anal retentiveness? I say this because I wiped one wheel off dry and had scratches (small mind you) all over the wheel. That point forward was always with soapy water. Up to you - just sharing my experience.
Nice lookin ride! Love the color and will look super sharp once the windows are tinted. You decided how dark yet - any state tint laws to concern yourself with?
I know on my Alcoa's they actually have a special clear coat that keeps the brake dust from sticking. I read an article on it a while hack. Was pretty interesting. What does stick wipes right off. I would think those would have a similar coating.
Yes, soap and water!!! Absolutely, like bill said. It comes right off though. I also use Adams quick sealant on them and that seems to help keep some of the dust from sticking so badly.
Love the color combo. That was my original planned color, but once I saw the B5, I switched. Now if you can only figure out how to race yourself and that Z06.....
Also agree with BigDodge, a little Adams quick sealant or a few coats of good wax on the wheels will help keep the dust down and will make cleaning them much easier.
Great looking ride. While I love my 2013 392 Challenger, I think the addition of the 6-piston calipers and the new wheels for the 2015 look freaking great.
The biggest gripe I have with my 2015 SRT is the front wheels collect a lot of dust-the backs not as bad-So much dust ,that I'm actually considering changing the front pads ,at least, to a pad that creates less dust-A real shame because they are new-By the way ,your car is beautiful-congratulations -I originally wanted the silver-the wife wanted black with silver stripes-I should have stuck with the silver

They are every bit as bad as my 2009 that I fought for 6 years with brake dust. I'm almost to the point of replacing all the pads front and back. I have the same wheels and they don't make brake dust show any less. It's just as bad.
You should be able to get the A8
I just ordered my Phantom Black M6 on Tuesday and the computer kept making it an A8 instead of an M6.
Finally got it straightened out. Now the wait begins.
