Yes, I don't know what brand were installed when I bought the car, but the front wheels would stay clean for about 2-3 days before being covered. I read an older thread on here and everyone recommended ceramic brake pads to reduce/eliminate brake dust. This is the first vehicle I have used ceramic pads on - but it made a huge difference. I rarely go longer than 7 days without washing my car, but you notice the body getting dirty before the wheels now.
