Does anyone have a way or suggestions as to how I could keep my orange rims clean, or cleaner. Would changing my chain lube work? And not by buying black ones for the sarcastic comedians out there. It takes more time to clean my rear rim than my entire bike.

Get black rims! No, even with black rims they get noticably dirty. Try switching to Chainwax lube, works pretty well with minimal fling. My rims get more dusty with road dust and some brake dust more than anything.
For cleaning, use Honda Polish - or McQuire's quick detailer. I use that and on the whole bike and rims. Comes out great. Use a mild degreaser to clean the goo off rims too.
use wd40 spray onto a clothe and just wipe of no bother

i use Armor wheel clearner. just spray and wipe takes maybe 5 mins to do both wheels. my buddy has the same bike as you. we try all sorts and that stuff worked the best. also what i did is put a nice coat of wax on the wheels this will stop it from builiding up to fast. it can also be used on the black wheels. hope this helps i used it after every day of riding. check out my photo gallery for finish product later

exchange them for chrome.....then you can easily clean the road/brake dust with windex and a micro-fiber cloth.....
+10 on whoever said to put it on a rag to wipe it off.....good advise....dont spray stuff on there that may get on the tread of the tire and cause a wipe-out....and NEVER armor-all bike tires....lol

I would just get some quick detaling spray and a microfiber towel.

I got mine polished then I just give them a quick spray(on the cloth then cloth to rim) of Mr sheen.. works like a treat....keeps them on the shine and also when dust or crap from chain does come to stick on the wheel because I used mr sheen prior, it makes a coating on the rim so the next time I wipe the crap of. it comes off really easy due to the MR SHEEN...by product....is she smells good too...
