Yes the brake track would wear into any alu rim choice. That's why I'm leaning away from black alu rims. I thought grey ano would be less of a contrast, could look nice with gumwall tyres!
Exalith rims would keep their ano for much longer (now tricky to find them). The only real solution for eternally black rims is carbon, but it's £££££ for anything that will brake well in the wet.

I guess the thing to remember with anodised rims is that the brake track can just wear away if you brake regularly while riding in the wet for a few hours - have a look at polished kinlin rims as well? I've had good enough experience with cd open-pros and they come up on ebay laced to hope hubs semi regularly :)
