Rejex is a polymer based coating that helps keep the elements off your paint, including your wheels. It's an alternative to using wax. I'm an EX-Rejex user. Worked well. For the wheels, it works, but it doesn't last forever. Probably once every 3 months is about right. You'll still get brake dust, but instead of it sticking to the wheels, you can just hose it down.

Powdercoat your wheels a darker color.

Is there anything possible I can do to cut down on the break dust from my 545i w/ sport package? I've only put 2500 miles on the wheels and they are starting to turn yellowish in the front. I wash it every 2 days and wash the inside with a bug scruber but it's not working. I know I'm gonna have to get them sand blasted again and re-powdercoated next year( it's put up for the winter) any suggestions on cleaning agents(aside from wheel cleaner) or rotor break pad combo to reduce the staining? I had a Honda with white painted wheels and never had this problem...thanks guys.
Try Swissvax Cleaner Fluid medium to clean the wheels and then protect them with Swissvax Autobahn heat resistant special wheel wax. I have used it for a while now with stock M135 wheels and have only positive experiences so far.
