Default Quattro Sport wheel cleaning?

for those of you who have the 17" RS4 alloys...
what do you use to keep them clean? i love the way they look [when clean]but they're black with brake dust after 2-3 days! would new brake pads work and if so, which would be the best? can you guys suggest an effective way of reducing this?

Default Wax the **** outta them...

Buy a good wheel wax. Let it dry forever: Buff like a gorilla: And the dust will reduce quite a bit. My Trans-Am used to have terrible problems like that.. I think DuPont makes a good wheel wax.
SuperWheel, primewheels, something like that.

Mintex RedBox pads will work too. Less dust.

Default agreed - this is the only solution - change the pads.

I put up with it for two years - now I can go a couple of weeks before I need to clean them (I still clean the car every week though.)
