If it hasn't rained since the last time you washed your wheels, go to one of those self-serve car washes with the high pressure hand sprayer. Spend $1.50 and just blast your wheels. They will look 95% cleaner. This works really well if the wheels haven't gotten wet since the last wash and is much faster than doing it by hand. Otherwise get the Delux pads or as someone else already said use less brake by anticipating stops earlier. The X5 stops really well. A little dust is just the price we pay.
