Default ceramic breaks?

Hey guys I'm going to chrome rims and right now I'm dealing with rediculous amounts of break dust up front on my rims. Would would be the most beneficial breaks to go with? Ceramic? And what kind are the best to reduce dust?

Use high quality brakes and not cheap parts store semi metallics and you'll be fine, of course there will always be some dust to deal with but thats normal.

I use Performance Friction carbon metallics on my 01 with Chrome wheels and they do pretty well.

There is this spray....can't think of the name but a lot of dealerships sell it. It makes it so dust doesn't cling to the rim almost like rain-x so you can just spray it off with water.

Screw the spray...install some HAWK Ceramic pads and your dust will be 90% less...the money I spent on cans of that wheel protectant was a waste of time and could of bought my HAWK pads.
