I use a standard sized detailing brush with a cut down handle which I can then move around the wheel between the hub and the gutter. I use it in with Bilt Hamber auto wheel spray and do so every other week so tend not to have too much dust build up to deal with - never been much of an issue for me.
I believe it does, which is the big issue for the wheel woolies which tend to catch on the caliper and discs, especially the biggest of the three.
There's a channel on youtube called the Forensic Detailing Channel that has video reviewing the complere Microfiber Madness range. The guy owns a M135i and really rates the Incredibrush for his alloys.
My tools of choice for the alloys on my 120D, are Wheel Woolies, but like I say the big one struggles around the discs and calipers and is a bit tattered now because of it, so my next purchase will be the Incredibrush as I really rate their range of products. I tend to use the brushes to clean the barrels of the alloys and use a mitt and smaller detailing brush for the faces and in and around the spokes.
The alloys on my newer 120D are breeze compared the last ones and so much easier to clean than those on the M140i/M135i.
Bought and used the microfibre madness incredibrush (flat) and doesn't fit between the calliper and the alloy unless use force it in and risk damaging the brush
Used the wo-wo wheel mit and very pleased with that.
So anyone wanting the incredibrush I'll sell it you if the place I bought it from won't take it back.

I use a combination of a Wo-Wo wheel mitt and a EZ wheel brush (Small) for the fronts and the insides/behind the spokes. I then have a Valet Pro detailing brush for the nuts
The only thing I'll add about the EZ brush and why I no longer have one is the rubber tip on the end of the brush can come off and if you don't notice it soon enough you could end up catching and scratching your wheels.
TBH, if you clean then seal your wheels then all you'll need is normal car shampoo. Failing that the best wheel cleaner I've used is Bilt Hamber Auto Wheels.
I'd agree with Neil. Only used two products for wheels for many years, Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel or Valet Pro Billbery, both of which are diluted in a very weak solution and cost effective.
Having owned the car for three weeks, today was the first time Ive had the opportunity to spend a good amount of time properly cleaning the car.
The paintwork has come up a treat, looks like it came out the showroom however......
The inside of the front wheels are terrible!! Proper baked on break dust that the former owner has never cleaned off and that I can not shift. Tried everything. The rear wheels came up a dream.
Anyone any suggestions RE chemicals for this sort of thing?
