Try car wash soap/water in a spray bottle with a soft bristle brush. Then apply a wax to them for extra protection. Avoid strong acidic cleaners! Even some store bought wheel cleaners are too aggressive to use safely.

The same thing you use on the paint for protection will work. I use Zaino Z2 personally. Helps keep the wheels cleaner longer and better protected.

Just make sure it's a non-abrasive protectant wax or polish.
