Best bet mate is to use Autoglym Clean Wheels to get them clean (stinks that stuff)...

Then get some nice cannuba (sp?) wax and give the wheels a really good coating.

Then brake dust just wipes off

I bought an Auto Glym profesional valleting kit today - £19.99 and you get a loada stuff in it - I found that the wheel cleaner is good for getting the crap off, then use the plastic leaner on the wheels and tryes to give it a well deep shine... Wax 'em up after too in the winter to make 'em weather resistant.
