    The anthracite colour would certainly help hide brake dust!

    I have anthracite grey on my standard s line alloys, look very good but brake dust is more of a problem now than when they were standard silver.

    Yeah with silver I didn't notice it as much till a few weeks whereas with anthracite you notice it within a week. I've had black alloys and they are good at hiding brake dust.
