Pretty much the same as you - soapy water and a cloth or wheel brush. In other words, nothing special. The DBA/EBC brake dust isn't too hard to get off...there is just lots of it when going through the bedding in process.
I only meant so you wouldn't see all the brake dust

Looks brown almost, i hadn't washed my car or wheels for a few weeks until yesterday, and they were shocking, mine are black on the insides.

I had some "non acidic" spray for wheels, didn't really do anything, soapy water from the high pressure washer did most of the work.
