There is no such animal as a soft brush that won't scratch. ALL brushes scratch.. That's a "take each tire off the car on a Saturday morning and spend intimate time with each wheel" kind of detail. THEN, don't allow them to get that dirty again. There are products out there that will get them clean with no effort at all but if your wheels are chrome or painted, that stuff will eventually cause the chrome to start bubbling up or permanently stain the paint. If whatever your wheels have on them is not what they are made of, then it has been applied to the wheel and it will eventually come off if you use some harsh enough stuff. Eagle 1 wheel cleaner comes to mind. It'll get them clean alright after it gags you to death. That right there should be a sign that it's some dangerous stuff.

Thanks Junkman2008! Not the answer I wanted to hear but it seems logical to me.

Not impossible but challenging where I live with all that dust and it is a daily driver.
