Default the heavy duty hand cleaner, like power orange or whatever....

if you don't really care about the finish on the wheels, use the abrasive version. If it's your RGRs, I'd use the one without abrasives. Just open the lid n feel a small bit, or maybe it says on the bottle. IME the regular degreasers dont work that well at all (greased lightning, simple green).

Default brake cleaner its cheap and comes of fairly easy, just use a couple rags so when you wipe it goes on

the rag once the rag is dirty switch to a new one.

1-2 cans of brake cleaner should do it depending on how efficiently you use it

thats how i cleaned mine

don't forget to re-wax the wheel after you use whatever cleaner.
