I don't know if I would use a brush or anything attached to a drill, even if it s soft the rotation will scratch the wheel. I would buy a good wheel cleaner, use a soft parts cleaning brush and a pressure washer, that should take care of them.

Or try that powerball from Mothers (that attaches to a drill)......soap and water and high pressure rinse IMO will work best

thanks! i think i will try some good wheel cleaner, a keyboard brush, and a pressure washer first and see how that works. i think the powerball may be too large.
