if its a vynal type material then a wipe down with diluted apc will do the job, if its fabric then id recomend getting a pro to have a look at it as it will need doing with a spray extraction machine that sprays the chemical onto the lining and removes it.
tfr diluted(if its a strong one) or neat if the dust is really bad but you must not let it dwell for too long or dry out on the rim. works best by applying it to the whole rim allowing to dwell for 3/5 mins then aggitate with a brush and re-apply during this process, when your happy its clean rinse of well and re wash with a mitt to fully remove the tfr.

apc is good for rims and the same process as above really.

after you've got them clean make sure you seal them with either a wheel sealant or a good quality wax which will make them alot easier to keep clean in the future.
