    Most motorcycle shops or catalogs have "spoke brushes" available. They are round and have fairly stiff bristles. Spray with a good wheel cleaner that does chrome and run that spoke brush thru the spokes. Works great.

    They have a product called lustre lace but it's abrasive I switched the spokes out to some stainless steel land mark twisted spokes.

    you can find some nice spoke cleaning brushes, they usually have a coated center stalk so they won't scratch. A good cleaner for wheels that won't hurt the chrome or spokes probaby from wall mart.

    Nothing beats a good cleaning rag and some time on the stand though to get them really cleaned up.

    Cleaning Spoked Wheels Is A Real Pain In The Ass. I Have Found A Product, That Will Not Only Clean But Shine Them. Its Bronze Wool That You Can Buy At Any Hardware Store. It Is Non-abrasive And Will Not Scratch Any Chrome, And It Also Removes Rust. Spokes Take Alot Of Time To Clean So Why Not Do It Right. Bronze Wool Is The Ticket.
