got some new wheels, need cleaning tips

hey guys,
got some new wheels, satin black OZ SUperturismo GTs.
before putting them on, i hit them up with WheelWax to make them easier to clean.
just put them on today, so haven't had a chance to get them dirty and wash yet, but i usually try and stay away from wheel cleaners and harsh brushes.
i wash them last with the remainder of soap in the bucket with separate sponge, but these have quite a few spokes compared to wheels that i had before (both pictured hehe).

any recommendations for a possible wheel brush or something, or any other tops on cleaning these babies and not scratching them in the process?
any input is greatly appreciated.

here is a quick cellphone pic of my car sporting new wheel/tire package.

Hopefully the link above is within the forum rules. It makes cleaning wheels be not as much of a chore and easy on my back.

Sonax FTW. It requires very little agitation to work effectively, but it will take off your wax.
