I use carwash soap (Zaino Z7) and a lambs wool mitt which seems to work very well. Dry off the wheels off and then apply Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance to the tires

I use any old commercial wheel cleaner (helps get off brake dust) and wax 'em when I'm done.

I use the Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Wheel Cleaner. It's not a "no touch" solution, where you spray it on and wash it off, but I don't think any system like this will give you perfect results. The Mirror Glaze works great on the stock rims, which I think have a clear coat finish on them. Even if your brake dust has been on there for some time, it should come off fairly easily. It's a good product.

This is from the Meguiar's website...

"Most wheels now come with clear coat finishes that require special care. Do not use abrasives or scouring pads on these wheels. One of the safest, most effective wheel cleaners is Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Wheel Cleaner. It contains no acid, toxins or abrasives yet effectively removes stubborn road grime and brake dust and leaves the surface bright and shiny. It is the product recommended by BBS, the world

I use P21S wheel cleaner every time I wash the car. It cleans the dust while leaving the wax coat intact.
