3 options.
1. waxing wheels makes a huge difference (did'nt really understand what you meant)
2. change to a low-dust pad (hawk hps is great)
3. wash car more often (may not be an option for some)

Clay and apply FMJ. Keeps dust from building up. When washing car...
don't use a lot of the strong wheel cleaners mentioned here (like ps21, simple green) because they will remove the wax. Just use your regular soap and they will clean up in a jif!

I have used Klasse AIO and SG in the past
Not sure if it helped repel the dust, but i was more confident that the wheels were protected and they always looked great.
I also would mix a bit of car shampoo and water in spray bottle and coat the wheels while I washed the rest of the car... Dust always came off pretty easy.
