why do you need to take your wheels off to clean them?

If you are really that **** that you have to clean the inside of the wheels, at least do it like every few months or so, not every time you'd wash the wheels.

1-put car on jack stands(pls. make sure its enough...JIC)
2-spray water on wheel
3-spray solution of 50/50 water/degreaser on wheel
4-wash from underneath
if you aren't that crazy...

do steps 2 and 3 then use a toothbrush...
thats how i do it-
IMO its really not worth it unless you are entering a car show.

First I get the wheel wet spray on some wheel cleaner then get my bucket of soapy water and a brush like the one mentioned above and clean the back side but you will have to move the car to get between the rim and the brake and I use a rag to clean the rest of the wheel and thats it...I use some Mag and wheel cleaner it is in the black spray bottle can't remember what brand but works really good..
