I have white rims on my Primera. I also use OE brake pads, which really aren't that dusty.

So all in all, not really that hard to maintain. Wink

yeah but who does that here and what's the cost like?

AFAIK there was info on the forum about a powder costing company a couple months ago.
Yup, may be expensive but IMHO still cheaper to do that once, instead of repainting more often.

This seems to be the only shot I have with the rims on the car:

yup

if it's really caked on there, run the hose on the rim a bit first..the instructions say to do that first anyway, esp if the rim is still warm...it serves to take off the loose dirt first, pre-soak the heavy dirt and cool the rim some more

NOTE: DO NOT run water on hot brakes, the rapid cooling can warp/crack/weaken the hot metal (minute cracks, your rotors won't snap in half or anything so drastic...but still don't do it...wait a bit till everything cools down before starting to clean them)

then you apply the cleaning foam and let it sit about a minute before passing a sponge on it and then hose everything off

it's important that the rim is NOT hot when applying the cleaner or else it'll just dry up before it gets a chance to cleaning the rim
