Try Simple Green on wheels
I have some older ZR-1 wheels that go on a 1990 Coupe. They looked terrible when I bought the car. Appeared stained, definatley flacking etc. I though it was a lost cause to even try to clean. So, I washed themas I washed the car, even tried some populer spray on and wash off types and still looked bad. Wouldnt get the stains out. Committed that i would just look arounf doe new wheels. Well I started looking and everything was too expensive.
last night I washed the vette and thought I would try Simple Green. Sprayed on and wiped with a clean rag. Low and behold.....clean as new. All the stains came off! Now I still have flacking etc but wheels look like new from a distance so this delayed my $1000 purchase for awhile. Give it a try!

Just make sure you rinse it all off - Simple Green will accelerate corrosion of aluminum parts (check the FAQ section on their website). I'll only use it if the wheels are off the car.
