Well first it would help to have a pic of them.

It would also be nice to know what material there made out of aluminum, steel,magnisum?

Since you mentioned coil cleaner that tends to make me think you are dealing with aluminum.

If so i wouldn't use coil cleaner on them Eagle one has a cleaner for non coated poreis aluminum wheels any good auto parts store will carry the full line of there cleaners.

Iv'e used this cleaner and it works really good.
