Low Dusting Brake Pads

I will be picking up my Maxima either late this week or early next week and a week or so after that I will be putting on some chrome wheels. My wife has a PT Cruiser and the stock pads on it dusted so bad I had to find new ones from a company on the internet. However, I was wondering if there are any readily available pads that are very low dusting and will fit the 04 Maxima? I'm asking this, as I had to wait about 6 months after I got the Cruiser before I could find any pads that were advertised to be 'Low Dusting'. High performance is not required, just low or no dusting.

Thanks,
Maxiwalt

I am very impressed with the stock pads on my 2004 Maxima. They seem to be low dusting. I compare this to the 2001 330i I owned before this car.

You should drive the car for a few months before you decide to purchase new pads.

The wheels have not be chosen yet, but will not vary very much from stock in stlye, just chrome and will be the same size as the 17" that come on the SL. I'm looking to emphasize the L as opposed to the E.

Okay, I will wait and see what it looks like before I buy new pads, It is just that the Chrysler Pads were ridiculous in the amount of dust they produced. After about a 2 hour drive I needed to clean the front wheels again. The rear were nowhere near as bad. Now both are about the same.
