Almost any one of a selection of wheel brushes from Halfrauds and ordinary car shampoo. Works okay for me.

Oh, and a bit of elbow grease.

Wonder wheels is now rubbish....had the same problem and whereas previously it would have an excellent effect it now appears to have been hugely watered down and totally ineffective! Shocked

I just use supermarket brand insect remover and an old toothbrush when dirt/brake dust gets ingrained.
Then a quick wash with wax shampoo, finished off with wax based furniture polish.
It seems to work very well without damaging lacquer finish on wheels. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 74k+ miles) (MY2015)

I’ve tried several of their other workshop products too. Not had a duff one yet -and their delivery service is A1.
Thumbs Up Thumbs Up I've decided to stop being a good example and will now just be a terrible warning.....
