What has everyone found best to clean the wheels? With all the nooks and crannies, it's hard to get the fingers in there.

Walmart has a small round brush in the automotive section that seems to work pretty good. The bristles are soft enough and the handle long enough that it just slides thru the spokes.

I use mothers mag wheel polish for my rims when they start oxidizing... It works wonders... when you wipe it off use a little bit of flour on your rag... It helps take all the polish off and will leave them shinning

Sounds great but I was wondering more along the lines of when I wash my bike.

S-100 and a baby bottle brush from Target. The bristles are soft and its curved so you can get in the "spoke" area. Then I use Mothers with paper, yes paper, towels and they shine!

I use a soft bristle tooth brush and q-tips for tight spots.

I have had good luck with "Blue Coral Wheel Magic".
I spray it on, hit the stubborn spots with an industrial tooth brush, (the kind you buy in a hardware store), and then spray it off with water.
Really makes them clean, without much effort either!

Not the easiest to maintain wheels. Good wheel cleaner and elbow grease/muscle when washing, Mother's mag polish when detailing.
