Keeping GTA wheels clean?

I was wondering if any of you have a special trick to speed up the process.. The old toothbrush trick takes to long and the toothbrush is to big to get in the smaller wholes?

In with the same issue... I thought about trying the brushes from my engine cleaning set, haven't gotten around to it though. The oil gallery brush for the smaller holes, and the lifter bore brush for the bigger ones.

Just clean them once really well with superclean and every week or so or when you wash the car just spray and rinse itll just keep piling up if you dont get it cleaned right

Go to the dollar store in the housewares section. They'll have brushes like that only with plastic bristles so there's no danger to the paint from steel bristles on engine cleaning brushes. That's what I used to use.
