Default Stained Rims!!! HELP

I have WHITE ZR-1's on my Z28, and what I thought was normal brake dust..turned out to be my worst nightmare. They are stained black from the dust, I don't know how to get rid of the stains...I've tried everything from polishing to bleach. Please help, these rims are what MAKE my car...It looks horrible w/ a clean car and dirty white rims. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

try a clay bar. I think it should get the stains out.

After you get the dust off, make sure to wax your wheels. Brake dust will rinse off afterwards.
