Brake dust: I like it

Has anyone ever thought their srt-8 looked nicer with some dirty a** rims? I like it I think it completes the 'tank' look and matches other parts of the car. Shiny clean rims also look really nice but dirty once are just so much easier.

Edit: better yet, anyone have some pics of srt-8's with some filthy rims?

Edit #2: I just got done moving today and I remember as the matress guy was leaving from dropping off a matress I bought I noticed him do a triple-quadruple take starring at my car all the way back to the truck.

These boys like to “ride dirty” I see.

I’ve always been a little embarrassed until I run up on a AMG of any flavor and I look over and see brake dust de jour all over. So then I don’t feel so bad being in their company.
