The dirty front wheels are from dust from the disc brake pads.  Nothing
to worry about, just a result of front disc brakes that are mounted in the
wheels.  If you really want to prevent your wheels from getting dirty, you
can buy shields that fit inside the wheel and prevent the dust from getting 
out.  However, the cheapest solution is just to clean your front wheels 
more often.
