What do people here use for cleaning the wheels. There is so little clearance between the rotors and the inner part of the wheels. Hard to get them clean their full depth.
I just bought a Mothers wheel / wheel well brush. No good too thick to fit between the rotors and inner part of the wheel.
Once a year, I remove each wheel, one at a time for a clean & polish. I spend over two hours on each wheel. (have not done it this year, yet.)
I wax each wheel including the barrel. I clean and treat the tire for bloom. I also clean and detail the wheel well at this time. After this cleaning I touch up with micro fiber cloth wrapped around a paint stick as needed.

Each time after washing the car, I jack up each wheel, place a jack stand under the car, and use a moist rag to wipe down the barrel of each wheel while spinning the wheel to get all areas covered. Then I follow with a dry cloth. It really doesn't take me all that long to do all four wheels that way and the barrel of the wheel comes out nice and clean.
I also take the wheels off once a year and give them a good cleaning on the back of the spokes then apply a coat of wax.

Baby Bottle brush from Walmart....soft enough bristles to squeeze between caliper and wheel barrel and long enough to go from outer to inner edge..........couple of bucks and it works !
Ask me how i know
I use this Wheel Detail Brush I think I'm going to have to pick up the baby bottle brush that SG Lou suggested as the brush won't fit through the center of the calipers to clean the wheel.
Wheel cleaning brush?
