I've seen my friends use the off the shelf Meguiars wheel cleaner and a brush to remove the dirt and junk, and it works like a charm. It is really worth it to remove the wheel though!
And while you are at it, clean the wheel wells! They look
when they are all black.

I have a similar situation when I got my car. What I did is use gasoline. Damped your rag and apply it to your wheels. inside and out. I took them off the car and did it one at a time. Wash and rinse after and apply wax to protect it from element. GL

What about a bug and tar remover product? Or acetone from an auto supply store? Once you have them clean I would recommend a good sealant like Chemical Guys Jetseal 109. Use it extremely sparingly, I've been using it on my cars, and just started using on my wheels.
Hope this helps!

I would use P21S Total Auto Wash or perhaps even simple green. For the inner side of the wheels use a non scratch scuff pad to loosen up the dirt on the inside. I recently cleaned a set of wheels on my brothers car which where soiled really bad with this same exact method. Overall they turned out good, however he had a lot of pitting from brake dust that I will have to probably wet sand or repaint at somepoint.
