Worst colour

What would you consider to be the worst colour to keep clean, plus wheels which are the easiest to clean..

Blacks probably the worst colour to keep clean.

I'd say apexs are probably the easiest (out of the wheels ive had anyway) no tiny gaps between spokes to try and clean with fat hands

With just 7 spokes and a nice smooth gap between each one, I would say Meteors have to be one of the easiest wheels to keep clean:

Serpents less so.

Black is a nightmare. Not sure about wheels but my forked spokes are coming off tonight for a full clean, you cant get the backs done when they are on the car.

A black tourer with serpents, almost glad I don't have it anymore!
But they are all a pain, hairpins, straights, unions, et al. As for colours, they are all difficult to keep clean, busy show up worse on a lot of the really dark colours.

Worst colour, black, followed by white. Best colour Tempest/X Power Grey, followed by Silver.

Nah, best colour by far is chatsworth, hadn't washed for 12 month and it looked exactly the same after!!

I find that most dark colours such as my British Racing Green ZTT are not the easiest to keep clean, I find that the Gridspoje Wheels are fairly easy to keep clean.

silver, red, burgundy and even navy were all colours that looked relatively clean even when they werent. White still looked clean until it rained and then it could look streaky, and would look really clean lol.

Black showed all of the dust, even if it was cleaned and hadnt rained for days or weeks. So probably that or my dark grey met. Volvo would be my worst.

As per opinion, black is a nightmare, silver is good.

Easiest to keep clean are 11 spokes I'd say, nice gaps and nothing small and fiddly.
