Can you guys give me any ideas as to how often I need to clean/wipe off brake dust. And how exactly I go about that. Thanks a bunch.

I am washing mine quite often now without using wheel wash cleaners. I have the optional factory multi spoke chrome wheels for the 99-01 TL. I coated them with Zaino polish at the end of last month just before my trip to NJ. for the PARK AVE ACURA MEET. I wash my car about once or twice a week & my wheels still look good. As always the front wheels will get very dirty on a FWD car. I clean mine with an old wah mitt that I use only on the wheels.

a bit more info
Hey guys, thanks for the initial bit of info, but I have a bit more specific questions: Do you just hose down the wheels? Do you wipe down on the inside of the wheels? Most importantly, is there anything I SHOULD NOT DO? Let me know of anything that might seriously f*** up my brakes/wheels. Thanks guys again.

What not to do....
Don't wash them as soon as you pull into your driveway or whereever due or your rotors will get warped let it cool. (you probably know that but one time I forgot and sprayed some water on the wheel and saw the steam and then stopped).
I wash 'em once a week, I don't wash the inside, maybe if I am going to a meet I'll wash the inside or when I'll have Lowenharts BR5s, I'll wash the inside

I just use soap and water on my wheels, the same stuff I use on my paint. If you clean them regularly, it shouldn't be too hard to get off. I would stay away from spray on wheel cleaners, the best way is also the hard way, do it by hand with a bucket of soapy water and a rag or wash mit.
