There are black stuff. On all of these wheels, I've seen them. Is this dirt that everyone just doesn't take out?

It's brake dust, and it can come out pretty easily. All you need to do is get some citrus cleaner in a spray bottle, spray it on the wheels, in the tight crevices, spray alot of it, then simply take your hose w/favorite nozzle attachment and power wash the dirt out. See my homepage, you'll find no dirt in my wheels....

Why? Because you might notice the dirt?
