Welcome to NAM!
I've got white crown-spoke wheels. (Looking for spares-anyone? PM me if you have some take-offs sitting around!) Clean early, clean often. Wax. They'll always be dirty. That about cover it? I've had white wheels longer on a motorcycle. Look nice clean... for a day...
LSD is VERY expensive to retrofit, so it's a good choice to get it at order time. Don't really have to think about it after you have it. It's just there.
EDIT: I've used WD-40 for years on the bike to clean the white wheels. Brake dust and chain lube make a mess. Works great. No etching or anything on the powder coating, look fine long term doing that. Might be worth a shot if you get stubborn brake dust.
