I know that you do not want to use a steel brush. Brass or aluminum maybe, but not steel. The steel will gouge the wheel and may leave a residue which will discolor it. As Karl said start with the least abrasive ( hardest work , <G> ) and go towards more aggresive.

Mothers has an aluminum wheel polish that comes in a little can. I'd try
getting that and buffing it with one of those small buffing wheels that can
be put on the end of a drill (or, even better, a mini die grinder)
If they're too corroded, try blasting them with plastic media and then
polishing them.
