I dont know if there is any, it looks like you have 98 cobra rims, they are a bitch to keep clean, I have to clean mine every week

you can try some Performance Friction "Z" rated pads. About $50 or so.

It seems like the stock pads never EVER did it, but once you put on some aftermarket pads, it gets crap all over the place and you have to clean the rims every 2 days

I'll try the $50 pads this time and see what happends.

i have heard but dont no if it is true, that there are some kind of clear plate that actually goes behind the rimd that keeps the dust off, but i have never seen them and dont know if they are very visable espcialy with your rims

I tried one of those plates once and it made all sorts of noise. It did keep the dust off, but it sounded like rocks in a hubcap.
