+1...I ordered my RS4 shortly before the Titanium Package was an option, and will definitely go in that direction when I order 'winter wheels', which will actually become my summer wheels after some tire shuffling.
BUT, if I recall correctly the RS4's 60-0 was 116 feet and the S6's is 117 feet, which is pretty good for fairly porky cars, so no complaints. Quite pleased with the S6 brakes thus far, and at least these wheels are easier to clean than the beautiful RS4 wheels.

Nice! I'm doing the same. I can't stand all the brake dust. Waiting on my materials from dipyourcar.com. I'm going the gloss black route. Until someone releases new pads for these brakes, I hope the plastidip will help hide the insane amount of dust.

Honestly, I normally don't like the anthracite/grey wheel look, but it looks great with your Estoril paint!
For what its worth, I got my car detailed when new and my detailer applied Opti-Coat to all of the paint (including the wheels). Between that and the Armor-All wheel protectant I use, the brake dust really isn't too bad any more.

I posted in the other thread about Plexus... a polish that seals the pores and allows brake dust to wipe off so easily for several times until you need to re-apply it. It doesn't prevent the the dust from depositing but it's my tried and true solution that works great. Apply also to wheels when wet after washing car and dry the wheels as normal. Several people mentioned they ordered a can or two based on the suggestion. Still waiting for them to report what they think. I swear by the stuff.
