Wheel Cleaner For MMR Rims

Im not sure if my MMR 017 rims are painted or powder coated. What kind of wheel/rim cleaner is safe for MMR rims?
I found Meguiar's cleaner to work well on factory rims but was hard on the calipers.
What is everyone else using.

017's are painted unless you get custom powder coat from them.

The link in my signature for effective, easy cleaning works fine with both powder coated and painted surfaces.

I treat my black rims just like the paint on the car. Agree they are easier to keep clean if you ceramic coat them. Brake dust comes right off with soap.

Simple Green works great for cleaning wheels.

It will clean it yes, but Simple Green is very high in sulfuric acid and is actually very aggressive

To OP and BradfordCamaro. Sorry for taking the attachment out of context. BradfordCamaro trumps my initial response.
