Interesting... I wonder why your seeing such an effect.
I don't ride it daily, no. When it was in street dress, sure, I rode it often enough but it had black wheels at the time. Now my 250 only sees track miles about 2 weekends a month thus far. Maybe the r6 would be an even better pic. It also has white wheels and been even longer since I cleaned them and it's seeing it's fair amount of street time as of now.
Don't get me wrong, I aint saying it's the best, but it works for me. I am somewhat skeptical that it attracts dirt to the point that it makes cleaning them much hard then using any other product. Spray on cloth, wipe wheel area a few times and move on. If I use anything else, like simple green, it takes longer and I have to scrub more and harder to get the same level of clean in the end.
When I first got the white wheels, I used to wipe them off after every ride. It made keeping them pristine white pretty easy. After the novelty wore off, I don't clean them near as often.
Also note, the white wheels on both my bikes were originally black and have been powder coated white.
