Take them off the car and clean them very thoroughly. This may help: Wheel Wash and Brush
Once they are clean, you can use a claybar on them if you want, and then seal them up with a good sealant...Klasse SG, Zaino, Wolfgang, etc. That will make them much easier to clean and keep clean. Repeat this process 2-4 times a year.

Though this may not have been the best idea, my stock SS rims were so badly stained from brake dust when I bought my car I had few other choices. The front ones were almost completely black. I sprayed some Castrol Super Clean on them one at a time, soaked them really. Five minutes later I put on some rubber latex gloves, got a really aggressive pot scrubber and went to work. It worked. They look like new again. For those not familiar with Castrol super clean, it's just a very aggressive concentrated cleaner. It'll peel the skin off your hands hence the need for gloves when using the product straight.
