change your brake pads to a ceramic type, it cuts the dust down to near zero.

It's easy.........

Foist of all get rid of the OEM brake pads and buy/install Hawk HP's! Follow
the brake-in process that way they won't make noise. Ok, you've eliminated
80% of the dust on your wheels. I use detail spray and old cotton towels
cut into strips that I just throw away after the wheels are clean. Once a
week I use Wheel Wax and microfiber towels to keep the shine up to par.
You'll be amazed at how often you "Don't" have to clean your wheels now
you've changed out your OEM pads!

HPS pads work very well and are low dust.

I've used Satisfied Pads in the past with very good results, there is absolutely no brake dust. It's around 50-60 bucks for a set.
