Sandblasting works well, of course, then you have to repaint the wheels...

But seriously, one tip I want to mention, is that after all the work it 
takes to clean up a set of wheels, the best thing you can do is to wax 
them well.  Then clean them and rewax before the wax has a chance to 
deteriorate.

The wax makes it a *lot* easier to remove future grime.
