Mag wheel cleaner from Super Crap, or the like. You would be amazed at how much cleaner these type of products make the wheels.

In the age of dishwashes, some people just want to get out of using a little elbow grease.
Soapy water and a sponge works fine for me, if there is any tar spots I just get a little kero on a rag and clean it off first.
Only problem is I can't get those scratches off the rims where she clobbered the kerb with the left front wheel

Oven cleaner when it is really baked on.

warm soapy water and a sponge.

Big dishwasher!

Actually, they'd probably fit into one of those commercial ones. At least the wheels without the tyres.

I also use one of those soft plastic brushes like you get in a brush and shovel set, with the aforementioned soapy water.
Don't use anything abrasive it will scratch up your wheels.
