Dustless brakepads dealer install?

What are some good dustless brakepads for the W211? Can I bring them to the dealer can I pay them to install it? I assume these brakepads will be 3rd party and may not be MB approved which is why Im asking.

I've owned German cars since the '50's. I've learned that it's always best to stick to the OEM pads.

Just wax your wheels with something like Zaino and the dust will easily wipe off.

If you have chrome rims will the brake dust destroy the finish on the wheels?

If you have true chromed rims the dust should not hurt them if you keep them reasonably clean. I did have some pitting on my '99 E320 but those stock rims were not chrome by any means. Stick with the OEM pads as others have advised. Like everything else in your MB they are there for a good reason.
