    Use a synthetic polymer wax or a specific wheel wax. Anything else may actually attract brake dust and definitely won't put up with the heat...

    I'm guessing on the polymer wax right now. I'll report back with feedback.

    I cleaned my wheels for the first time today and it actually didn't take as long as I though it would.. i think a spray and rinse would literally make my wheel cleaning time go down to 1 min a wheel hah

    Reporting back... using my Meguiar's NXT 2.0 on the wheels was pretty effective. Less brake dust buildup, as far as I can tell (lasted 8 days with no wheel washing with little buildup). Makes cleaning a lot easier, and actually feasible with just a sponge and soapy water on the Evo. Effort approximately cut in half plus the wheels stay shinier all the time.

    I'll be switching to some purpose-made wheel wax upon my next major detail.

    Your Konigs are machined, painted, then clearcoated. Any standard wheel wax or aluminum wheel cleaner would work well.
