HaHaHa!!! Ryball get your mind out of the gutter.. LOL
I need to clean my wheels as well. I go over them when I wash my car and most of it comes off, but right around the wheel nuts, and the little corners it is hard to get clean. I am guessing a tooth brush and some scrubbing might get it clean though.

I usually just wash mine with car soap and water with a rag. But if I'm not washing my car and just cleaning my rims (thanks to my dirty Axxis Ultimates) I use a wheel specific cleaner in a bottle (made by Turtle Wax).

This stuff is just simply amazing. Just spray, agitate, rinse, dry. It also leaves a light wax on the rim that lasts about 2-3 weeks so you can spray your rims and the brake dust comes right off. Total time for 4 wheels about 10 min.

SUBY 6 STI that sounds great.. I have a power washer, and in all the little nooks and crannies it is near impossable to get the crap out. This would make my life a hell of a lot easier.

^^^^ I would also suggest buying one of those brushes that are advertised on the right hand side of the page. I have the yellow trapezoid looking thing, but the other brush looks much better. Hmmm might have to buy some new stuff....

use a paintbrush. Just make sure the bristles are not to stiff. It works wonders. That is how I cleaned rims for the 2 years I detailed cars.
