i have silver 16" wheels with big off road tires and 18" wheels painted semi-gloss black. they still get dirty and dusty; but again washing em always cures the dust issues.

its just laughable how people gripe about dust from what is maybe the most important system on the truck. just be happy they work and wash your truck every now and then. no worries

i thought the concern was that dust can help set of the Amigos.

who cares if the wheels are dirty.

i don't buy that dust causes 3 amigos. Sqeals, worn pads and rotors, shuttle valve etc yes. Dust,,,not at all. If that was the case then you better not ever drive off road or on wet surfaces that will toss up dirty misty water. My stock pads/rotors never had issue till they wore down and began to sqeal. Then I replaced with ebc's and though they are less dusty they sqeek and sqeal now and then and set off the amigos.

I agree and have said this many times. The sensors are sealed in the hub, not sure how dust could affect them.
