Sonax is the best wheel cleaner out there. However if you are going to paint them you will need to scuff them up with either a scotch brite pad or fine sand paper.

You have to get Sonax online from somewhere like Autogeek or a place like that. Sonax is good because it's non acidic like a lot of wheel cleaners you can get at most auto parts stores. Acidic cleaners can stain the wheels but since you are painting them I don't that would be an issue.

soap water and a good scrub is usually enough for chrome wheels.
