Brake dust has never really bothered me because it takes all of 5 minutes to clean the wheels on either car. With that being said I would rate, as far as I can guess, brake dust as average. The wheels didn't instantly turn black after a quick drive, but they didn't stay clean for months at a time.

They dust like crazy, but its a dual purpose track pad, so its a given. I don't really give a fuck about dust though. I'd let it cake on for a couple months and it'd clean right off. If you're gonna be riding on baller wheels and want them to look good, stay away though. Won't ruin the wheels, but they won't look good.

my curent pads (unknown, came with brake setup) throw dust like its nobodys business.

im guessing they are fully organic pads. I have to clean my wheels daily, maybe every other, or you can notice the buildup visually.

My wheels are caked in dust right now, but I haven't cleaned them in oh...5 months. I also haven't driven the car in 3 weeks, and before that it was like 2 months.

OEM ITR pads are low dust, and great pads. They fade on track, but for street/occasional autox they are great.
