picus,
funny you say that since i was actually planning on driving straight home and applying my wheel sealant from poor-boys but its pretty chilly here in new jersey already so i wasnt in the mood to wipe off all the dust then apply sealant but as soon as i get a chance to i surely will. i know its a lot easier to clean the dust off with some kind of sealant on. thanks for the advice

So called? 
You make it sound like it's something new. Wheel Sealants and Dust Repellants have been on the market for as long as I can remember, well over 20 years.
I can confirm that in my experience the brake dust does not end up on the car. I've been using brake dust repellant on my car and customer cars for as long as I've owner cars, and every one of my customers gets an application of a dust repellant after each wash. For the most part the purpose it serves is allowing for easier clean up of the brake dust that *does* stick to the wheel - instead of needing a wheel cleaner and a scrub brush you just need water and maybe a light apc. At the same time it does "repel" dust, but that dust is just carried away by the air. I've never seen any on my car or customer cars.
If you are indeed worried, another option is to just apply your regular car wax to your wheels. This will not "repel" dust, but it will make it much easier to clean off.
