Soap and water ONLY. Other "Wheel Cleaners" will damage the finish on your wheels. I've seen a lot of this first hand.

I've tried that P21S wheel cleaner which is perty good! Spray on & rinse off! If the wheel is excessively dirty you may have to scrub a little. But, there's not much in the container... Right now, I bought this citrus sh*t that works just as good (safe on clearcoat/polished/painted finishes) Autozone.

Soap and water. If you want to be daring, try the Meguiars or Turtle Wax cleaners - but test it on a friend's wheel first
