Invest in a sponge.

Stock pads on a GTS produce a lot of dust, but they are pretty good pads. Don't know about the SRT pads but EBC Green brake pads are usually the norm for people who don't like dust. The Greens are not a good track pad though.

I prefer brakes that work. Greens were okay on my Gen I but lacked good stopping ability, especially when cold. I will never try them again.

You do realize the rims are not actually chrome, right? Polished aluminum with clear coat. In other words avoid metal polish, or you will remove the clear and ruin the finish. Clean and polish like you do the rest of the car.
