In regards to recent  articles concerning how to get alloy
wheels clean once they've become dusty and how to prevent
them from getting dusty in the first place:

1) There are many alloy wheel cleaners on the market;
   Turbo has been recommended by my dealer, and I am 
   presently using Eagle-1. (As soon as I run out,
   however, I'm switching to Turbo for comparison.)
   With Eagle-1, you are cautioned to work with only
   one wheel at a time and to not get any of it on your
   plastic end cap.    

2) A product called Kleen Wheels sells for $29.95 a pair,
   and will definitely do the trick. These mount over your
   brake pads behind your alloys. They must get awful 
   dirty on the inside, but they do the job of shielding
   your wheels from brake dust. They (and another similar
   product called BHMA Golden Shield Dust Covers listing
   for $39.95 a pair) are available mail-order; I bought
   mine and had them installed by my BMW dealer.
