37 years of brake dust and dirt

I was going to post this in my restoration thread but I think it deserves it's own post.

I knew I wanted to go white for rims and caps, I just figured I'd have to paint, instead I discoved what 37 years of brake dust and road grime look like- I honestly had no idea that I already had whites.

This is what the wheel looks like- wondering if anyone has any ideas about how to clean it while still on the truck. I am worried about getting a heavy duty degreaser on the rubber, does anyone know if this is a problem?

Cheers,
