Default Best Way To Clean

I purchased 4 used WS6 wheels from a fellow tech member, and wanted to clean the backside of the wheels thoroughly. The face of the wheels are pretty much immaculate, just want to get the entire rim cleaned up.

Back when I had my Formula, I just used SimpleGreen and a soft wheel brush, but I think this stuff is caked on pretty good. What (if any) other solvents and brushes could I use to scrub these nice and clean?

Thanks,

JZ

Take them down to a coin car wash and power wash them down.

That'd be a start.
