I'm thinking of changing my 2016 Z51 pads to ceramic. I have black wheels (5Z2's) . There is a lot of black dust on the wheels. If I recall from my C6 ceramic pads, the dust on the ceramics is a light gray. I'm wondering if the gray dust(how little there would be) would show up worst on black wheels.

I had the same issue, black wheels with lots of brake dust. I switched to the Carbotech 1521 brake pads. I'd say about a 90% reduction in dust and a firmer brake feel. Not sure about the ceramic pads.

The very nice thing about having silver wheels is the brake dust is almost impossible to see when you use ceramic pads.

I used TRW on my car they stop nice and the black dust is gone.

I looked at TRW pads ... but only the fronts are ceramic. Do you have a part number for rear ceramic pads ??

I can vouch for the Carbotech's.
1,400 mile trip back from taking delivery and my chromies were loaded with dust.
Immediately ordered and installed the Carbo's.
Awesome. Not cheap, but awesome!
