I'm considering buying a set of 20" mesh rims for my car but I'm concerned on how hard it will be to clean in behind the spokes. Below is a picture of the style I'm thinking of. Opinions are greatly appreciated.

Hey thats a great looking wheel man. Those wheels are easy to clean. Here is a great wheel brush that can get the job done for ya.

The importance of maintaining a clean wheel is to protect them I love Nitro Seal on wheels. It holds up and keeps wheels nice.

A good wheel cleaner to maintain them is

Make sure to buy a gallon though. This is a great all around cleaner!



ANyway just trying to offer some advice. Good Luck with them great looking wheels!
 
We use the same brush Barry mentioned in our shop everyday. Great brush. Another consideration wold be wheel woolies. A little expensive at $50 a set of three brushes, but they are very well built.
 
Another vote for the wheel woolie brushes. The small, medium and large one will be able to get between the spokes and behind the spokes for total cleaning. No wrestling, no bending, no spots left dirty. If you have big calipers and a small clearance between them and the wheel, the small brush will fit just fine.

No rotating the wheel to get a missed spot.

If you can't spring for the set of three, then Griot's sells a two brush set that looks exactly like the Wheel Woolies but the Griot's offers just a large and a small brush, no medium.



Once they're clean, you can coat them with whatever you want but you just know, nothing is going to keep brake dust and crud completely off the wheels, they're still going to need cleaning and the woolies are the way to go.
