I use the Multi-Piece Wheel Cleaner a lot. I think it is suposed to be the most gentle one.

you could use both of these, but the multi piece wheel wash seems to be the more gentle between the two...

Car wash soap

I am with Mayur on this one, Meguiars does make some good wheel cleaners and they have a great selection but in my case I like to stay with Gold Class Shampoo and water.

As others, car wash solution. If they're really dirty, I get the wheel brightener out and it never fails to amaze me with its power yet it's very gentle to the wheel itself.

I like NXT wash on the wheels. Makes the painted ones shine really nicely. But of course I have a gallon of wheel brightner and I find out later I cant use it on polished rims Im gonna have to use it on the other two cars. Only problem is that Im afraid it might strip off any wax that might be on the wheels.

Re: wheel and rim cleaner

If you wax your wheels, you will want to wash somewhat often so that soap and water will be all that is needed. After several washes, you could then clay/clean/wax etc again.

If it gets to the point that soapy water wont clean waxed wheels, then it is time for an actual wheel cleaner.
