No idea, but that does not sound good if it keeps coming back.

grease or wet brake dust? if it's brake dust, just don't use your brakes.

I think he's talking about brake dust. Just have to get used to it. I wipe it off every 2nd or 3rd day. And it's not just on the rims- it's on the whole car, mostly the rear end.

If the Grease is only on a FRONT rim it could be a leak from the oil cooler lines.

If it's break dust you can swap your break pads to ceramic pads. It should get rid of most of the dust.

Simple Green to cut through and clean off break dust.
Then polish the rims with Turtle Wax Ice to prevent the dust from sticking again right away.
