I own a 96 9000Aero and have the stock wheels and brakes on mine. I am considering upgrading my brake package just for this problem. I cant stand the amount of brake dust that accumulates on my wheels. I realize that your realationship with your dealer has been outstanding so far but dont let them fool you the brake dust will not decrease over time. As far as waxing your wheels thats just good carcare sense, a little excessive in my opinion but it will help in the speed of clean up that about it. Also remember if you are going to purchase a special solvent to clean your wheels make sure that it is ph blanaced to remove the dust. Dont buy acidic based cleaners for the will slowly but surely ruin the factory finish on your wheels.
hope I was some help
Regards

Welcome to the U.S.A. and tell your husband he should take some driving classes even if it is with the youth of our country it might give him a different outlook on things! hehehehe :)
