That is going to be a long term issue and as I understand it is part of why ABS brakes have costly repairs, their wheel speed sensors tend to be magnets that collect metallic grit.
I know people who have made huge composite magnets by collecting metallic grit off roads, it can be a big issue and one of the reasons I don't like wheel hub motors.

With that said, they seem to have a slick design that fits a common car.
