Wouldn't the heat from the brakes affect the wax? or is there some special high heat application wax that I don't know about

No, I just use regular car wax on the spokes and outside of the wheel. I only do that about every 6 weeks or so (every other time I wax the car).

The key is to just keep cleaning the wheels all the time so the dust never gets a chance to stick to the wheel for an extended time.
