Which rim hides brake dust the best?

It gets so old cleanin' my rims every week by hand with a rag. I am planning on geting some 19's in march and was wondering if you kids knew which rims hide the brake dust?

Maybe if there aren't any that hide the brake dust, there ar some that are quick to clean?

Dustless pads

?, never heard of em. Where do i get these? Is there a major performance disadvantage........is that why they are uncommon? Or do they just cost more and that's why they aren't common?

Thanks!

gunmetal hides dust the best. w/ black, you can see the dust in direct sunlight. i love the fact that my rims never look dirty (except the lip).
