My wheels are looking like they've been through a mud puddle after a
week.

There must be some good brake pads that don't throw off so much stuff.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

What pads do you have there now?

The OEM pads on my '00 Accord were very good in that respect -
practically no dust to speak of. On the other hand the OEM pads on my
A4 were a dust factory. All it took was an hour of driving and the rims
were covered with brake dust. After a week they were literally black.
I now replaced them with EBC Green which produce very little dust, but
apparently they don't last very long, so if that's a concern you may
want to look at something else. Mintex Redbox is another one that
produces little to no dust, although I've heard their braking
performance isn't all that great, but for just casual daily driving they
should be OK.

Cheers,

Pete

Don't use the brakes.

Seriously, that dust is from braking. No dust=no braking.

You want dust. Just clean the wheels.

Stop using aftermarket pads.
