I've used Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover (black & green spray bottle) on mine, to remove some grime and it works well IMO. OEM wheels are a PITA to clean.

I had some brownish oil-like stains on mine and used Mr. Clean "Magic-Eraser" and took it right out. It's non-ebrasive so doesn't leave any scratches.
