You get your favorite wheel cleaner and an old toothbrush. Grind it on both sides to a taper and it works for a while. BTW you are supposed to use a new toothbrush every 6 months so if you have a family you should have a good supply of old toothbrushes, enough to keep your wheels clean! Bottle type brushes have a metal spine so I don't like them, they could scratch the paint. The first time you clean the rims it takes a lot of work but it is easier to keep them clean then to do the initial cleaning. The front ones get the dirtiest from the brake dust. When I clean my rims I find it a lot easier to take them off the car and lay it on the driveway. Always use a tire valve cap on the tire valves. It keeps the dirt and moisture out of the tire valve. Don't forget to clean and check the spare. When I have the tires off I also inspect for metal and glass in the treads, bulges and delaminations, tread wear, etc. Also a good time to inspect the suspension, brakes, and grease the front end.
