Keeping Wheels Clean

I've got a set of Gen 2 17" TRD Sport wheels that I'm will soon be putting on my 2015 TRD OR. Has anyone painted or powder coated the inside of their wheels and does this help keep the brake dust from collecting in there?

 

Just so I can be clear, you are worried about brake dust on the inside of your wheels?

 

Yes. I usually try to clean off as much as I can on the inside of the wheel whenever I wash my truck. I just use a sponge or old was mit and reach through. Needless to say it is very limited. I was just wondering if a smoother, slicker finish would help keep so much grime and dirt from collecting in there.

 

In my experience painting makes a difference, but painting and waxing them makes it clean out easier. Of course that means cleaning and rewaxing wheels a few times a year.
