shoe lace with polish works great, so does the small wheel ball.. but the best thing to clean spokes in the world... shout! like you use on your t shirts to get stains out, spray it on, let it sit, then use a soft brissle brush and scrub... clean and shiney! if all else fails pull the wheels and send them to me we will coat the spokes

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Now all I need is the time to dedicate to cleaning them......
JRK5892: I gotta say bro, I'm not usually a fan of the apes, but your bike is flawlessly and tastefully done. The color scheme and the old school looks are simply killer. Old school is definitely the way I'm looking to go with the WG. Thanks for the offer to powder coat my rims too, but I could prob get it done cheaper here due to the money saved on shipping. Powder coat is definitely in in my future, now I just need to convince the fiance that it's in hers as well

You could just cover them. I live near the beach and have accepted that I will see rust soon.
Lil Squirt posted some shots of the bykas covers here.

I'm planning on replacing rims next year (or two), so I expect the covers to last me at least that long.

this wheel had rusty spokes, used this luster lace stuff and now looks almost new.
A quick 30 minute go using this stuff to see if it worked and seems it does so will finish the job when i can put more time into it
