Yep - I have a special dirty towel I use to clean the wheel well with, but I leave the wheel on also. Once a month I take the wheels off and really clean them up and give them a coat of wax also.
I rotate the tires every 3-4000 miles and while the wheels are off I thoroughly clean the back side of the wheels. Then I pressure clean the wheel wells. That carpeting in the wheel wells probably takes about a week to dry.

Now hold on there bub, "Carpeting in the wheel well" did I miss somthing?
It is a nylon mat. It dries really quickly as it has a hard plastic backing layer and doesn't saturate.
I take my wheels off and clean the chassis once a month. This includes all suspension components and the under-body.
With 66 miles on my odometer, I am noticing some grim on my rims and also on the inside of the rim. I would imagine this is just going to get worse. Any tips to clean, besides removing the tire?

Yup it gets worse. Only best way to geter done is to remove the tire
Actually, while you have the wheels off it is a good time to give them a good cleaning and put a solid coat of wax on them. This helps cleaning brake dust and road grime from the wheels.
