After replacing my stock rotors with a set of PowerSlots the noise level went up 10x. It's ear piercing when I drive next to a wall or building. For an example watch the first 45 seconds of this video: Great Lakes Z Club - LaPeer Dragway 9-10-11 I've got a set of Bobcats on the way because of all this new noise.

Dust from the XP pads is THICK but I've not had any issues with damage on my stock sport wheels or the TE-37s. Maybe I'm lucky... but I neglect my car washing quite a bit (The other MI guys FORCED me to wash my car at ZdayZ : ) and have yet to see any adverse affect on my wheels from the dust.
/\ same here, carbotech advertises that their dust is noncorrosive and so far anyway, that seems to be the case, no issues/damage with the OEM Nismo wheels and our car isn't washed on a very regular basis.
