Exactly one of two reasons why I opted for the 5-spoke 17" wheels...though I still have to let the car roll to completely clean the inside of the wheels/under the calipers.

Get yourself some of these. Minimal cleaning effort involved

I LOVE MY STOCK WHEELS!
Easy to clean and even after a week they don't even look dirty!

Degreaser, toilet bowl brush, new brake pads that produce light color brake dust (ceramic)

Also put some wax on the wheels if you haven't already.

I like 5 spokers, but think 7 spoke looks a little better and I'll probably switch next year. Still will be easy to clean I guess. Besides, my stock 5-spokers don't look quite as nice as Dennis's....
