Every two weeks when I wash the car. Have some amazing wheel cleaner (Bilt Hamber) and they look brand new with a few squirts of this stuff.

My rims are also plasti-dipped flat black so brake dust never shows up.

I plasti-dipped my wheels a year ago in flat-black. I have not washed or wiped my wheels since.

Simple Green breaks down the brake dust very nicely. I only addressed cleaning / wiping the wheels during car washes, never was a real issue and was running Textar pads also.

Easiest solution yet...
I just avoid using the brakes all together. Problem solved.
