use a safe wheel cleaner with a good wheel brush i'm gonna warn you know the task maybe somewhat painstaking but it can be done..The break dust looks to be baked on the wheels, so if and when you do remove it be prepared to see some etching from the baked on brake dust..

I had a feeling someone was gonna say it's gonna be quite a task . I didn't have time today to work on it so.....hopefully I'll have time someday. I'm not really worried about the brake dust etching...my car overall isn't in good condition. I spotted some rust spots on the paint but they're small. I do try to keep it as good as it can be though.

Some strong wheel cleaner and a stiff brush (toothbrush?).... PB Spray and Rinse at full strength may do the trick

Don't worry I wasn't discouraged . Well hopefully I'll have time to clean them well someday.

If the wheels are clear coated I would try Klasse AIO on them. If they are not clear coated I would try P21s Polishing Soap.

It's in between all those spokes BOOOOO
This is the before pic. If you look on the bottom right of the wheel, you can see the letters that are in the above pic.
Try Poorboy's Wheel cleaner. be sure to follow per label directions.

Toothbrush and DP gel cleaner. If that don't get it, AIO with the toothbrush.
