go to target and get yourself a microfiber wash mit.and a microfiber towel and a pencil. stick the microfiber towel around the pencil to clean the inner spoke. rub the rim with the microfiber mit. should take you like 2 minutes per rim with some p21s wheel cleaner

These are the most difficult wheels to clean I have owned including my RSGTs, M5 wheels, CSL, stock 18"M3 wheels. I use a sponge which makes it easier to get around the back of the spokes. Then I use a paintbrush to get in the spoke groove and the lug nut holes. And finally I use a microfiber wrapped around a paint stick to do the final cleaning in the grooves. It is a pain in the ass but I have adjusted.

Wait for a new product from Eagle One coming soon, it's called Keep Clean, keeps the wheels clean for 2 weeks, I saw it at a vendor show, i talked to one of the reps and he said they formulated it based on a BMW because all the suffering we go through cleaning our wheels from our lovely brake dust, i should have recorded a video, you guys should have seen the water, dust, and anything that tried to stick to the wheel, they poured water on it and it created a perfect drop and fell off the wheel, and the dust, what dust? Can't wait for it to come out...

Oh yeah, and can't forget, you also need to clean the calipers.
