That's over my head...please explain. (I know the mag wheels pricey, considered fragile, became unwanted, and many cars that did not order them received them no charge.)

Really makes me keep my C7's silver wheels clean. But then, they are always getting cleaned, I've been known to hit two self-serve car washes a day on my road trips. Drives my travelling companions nuts.

The brake dust turns black wheels to chocolate, and would subsequently turn silver wheels to a similar color as the C5 magnesium wheel...

Don't really care for the chocolate color - good thing you washed them and got the color back to black. Much better now.

For what it's worth, C6 Z51/later F55/GS/Z06's dusted like that also. Performance brake pads do that, if it bugs you (and you aren't going to track the car), replace the pads with ceramic and no more dust (or very little).
