The other thing to consider is to get less dusty brake pads. There are some small trade offs but I forgot what they were.
Somebody here will know which pads are less dusty.

I used to suffer from this too, but found a simple solution that seems to work every time. I clean my wheels as normal and then when its time to rinse i use a normal hose (non powered) and just spend a few minutes spraying water into the holes on the surface of the disks. The amount of crap that comes out is quite surprising. I have not had the problem again since using this method and frequently drive within 30 minutes of washing the car.

It's not that. It's easy enough to get off if you do it immediately. A wet rag cleans it fine. The problem is - There's no way of avoiding cleaning the inside of the wheels twice. The first time you need enough soap and water out of the hose to clean up the bulk of normal dirt but then the after-dirt spills from the rotors into the inside of the rim after you drive the car.
And you can't clean a really dirty rim properly using just wet towels because you would really do damage to the finish.
Especially for dirty rims you need a good soaping and water wash.

So are we not allowed to drive in the rain then?
Or even worse, salty gritted winter slush?
What if your car is outside and it rains?
Surely the brakes must be able to withstand getting a little wet!
Seriously, what's the difference between the disks being wet after washing, and being wet after driving in the wet?
