Default Brake Pads-Low Dust

Anyone have a recommendation for a low dust brake pad? I'm sure the pads on the car are the basic organic pads from one of the local auto stores and they make a ton of dust. The PO put chrome rally wheels on the car and I spend more time cleaning the wheels and tires than I do the rest of the car. There's an active thread where the poster said he was going with Wagner TQ. Their website says this about the pads: Proprietary formulation provides superior braking performance and reduced rotor wear, helping to cut down on brake dust. Does anyone have any experience with the Wagner or other pads that didn't create a ton of dust. Thanks.
