Waxing the wheels is really not going to help much, if at all. I would consider not wiping the dust off the wheels and only washing them with a lot of water. The brake dust has a pretty high metallic particle content and even just wiping it off gives it the ability to leave micro-fine scratches in the surface. Using a lot of rinse water to rinse the loose stuff off, then using a dedicated cotton wash 'sponge', re-rinsing and then drying is working very well on our wheels. I do see some damage beginning at the leading edge of each of the spokes on our MSRT8 wheels, though, as if road debrie is impacting them extremely hard in the area where the spokes meet the outter wheel.
