Low dust brake pads recommendation. (2013 JCW R56)

Hi all,
I've just purchased some new OZ Ultraleggera 17'' alloy wheel, in chrystal titanium.
Not fitted them yet, as I want to fit some new brake pads first.
They look stunning, and I want to keep them that way!
Any recommendations for the best low dust pads?
Much appreciated.

Akebono ceramic. They are about as close to dust free as you can get, and quiet.

Sorry guys, I should have mentioned, I'm in the UK! Don't seem to be able to source the Akebonos here.
Any of you used the EBC 'Redstuff' ceramic pads? I can get those here.
Cheers.

Any full ceramic pad should dust much less than OEM.

I know, but I'd have to pay an additional 25% by importing from the US. (Tax & VAT)
