MUC OFF is quite good.
I use cheap stuff from wilkinsons which only costs £2 or £3 - I don't clean them often so I dont think it will do any deep damage.

car shampoo wont break down the brake dust tbh
if your worried about powder coated surface then use bilberry, its non acidic bu very effective
i currently use megs wheel brightner watered down a lot, does the job very well

Autoglyms good what i use to get a thoroughly clean wheel tho i tend t take it off and give it a proper clean front and back much easier to get in 'hard to get ' places
