Brake dust.

A friends whorish beast of a 600whp M3 Racercar gets black wheels (1) because they hate to wash it and (2) because it can get all the brake dust it wants on it, and it wont ruin silver rims.


Black wheels on race cars are to help eliminate heat. Black pulls heat away from the brakes. Basically a colored heat sink if you will.
