Brixton CM10 Black or Titanium?

Ordering these Brixton CM10 soon! having a hard time deciding between Satin Black or Brushed gloss titanium on an Alpine White F80, which one do you think will hide our notorious brake dusts better?

Depends on the look you are going for, and your other mods.

Both will end up looking like they are covered in brake dust after a week or two of daily driving.

I always prefer the look of silver wheels over black.

Yes, I usually love black wheels but I must say that silver does look sharp

IMO if you're worried about brake dust and keeping those mesh wheels clean I would advise against getting mesh rims. Those look harder to clean than ZCP 666M wheels.

Yeahh, I just like the design of the "mesh" styles I guess, I'm currently on VMR V810 and they're already a hassle to clean lol

I switched to Powerstop Z23 pads for daily use and the dust is gone. 666Ms are shiny day in and day out.

How’s the braking capability compared to stock pads?

Not as much bite but still powerful. I wouldn't track them but then again most people wouldn't track the stock brembo pads.

Good to know! I was actually thinking of going to the track with the stock pads, should be ok if I only go once or twice a year right?

They'll be ok for light use. It's very easy to swap pads though so I'd defer to some of the hardcore track guys on their pad choice for long sessions. Fluid too

The only silver wheels I'd consider on any color car is the iconic BBS LM. Else, everything in satin or gloss black. Silver wheels scream Avis fleet rental to me.

BTW, those look eerily similar to the Vorsteiner wheels.
