I've seen worst... Most common car I see is the Lexus IS. Their brake dust is so horrifying that it totally discolor the wheel from silver to graphte.

all those dust composites slowly eat your paint away so best not to leave them on a long time

Those are drum brakes, I don't think a lot of brake dust escape onto the rim.
