COME AT ME BRO
As an alternative to more expensive brushes, I decided to try a little backyard engineering and see what I could come up with in regards to cleaning the inside/backside/barrel of my rims. Here's what I came up with.
Carrand brush from Wal-Mart. I took the two brushes and bent them away from each other (they used to sit one "inside" the other). Now I can fit it between openings of the wheels and use it to clean the barrels. With the sharp turns, a little flick of the wrist gets right on the backside of the wheel spokes/legs. For $4 it does a great job. It's easily adjustable for smaller or bigger openings, and the individual brushes are thing enough to get in between most calipers and wheel barrels (where they meet and are the closest).
I haven't noticed any marring, however I am using this strictly on wheel barrels.
